Gun Bounty Program

1-Gun - 1-Arrest - 1-GrandIn 2006 the JSO rolled out the Gun Bounty program, and through the generosity of the business community, was able to embark on an aggressive public awareness campaign. The program promotes the message "See It, Say It, Stop It" and is focused on getting illegal guns off the street and arresting the people who carry and use them. All this is done anonymously, through tips to our partner, First Coast Crime Stoppers.

 
On Thursday, May 23, 2013, JSO and these community partners announced that the Gun Bounty marketing campaign will return throughout Duval County. In addition, there will be four Gun Buyback events.

The first Gun Buyback event is scheduled for Saturday, June 29, 2013 from 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. The event will be held at the Maceo Elks Lodge #8 located at 712 W. Duval Street, Jacksonville, FL 32202.
