Action News Jax reported several weeks ago regarding the votes to unionize, where experts said that officers would be able to “have a seat at the table” and ask for higher wages.

In a statement by Sheriff Rob Hardwick, he states:

“These results are a reflection of my commitment to provide the best pay, benefits, and equipment for the men and women of the St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office. I’m proud of the work they do on a daily basis, and I am honored to be their Sheriff. I will continue to be relentless in my efforts to provide a phenomenal quality of life for our personnel and their families as we serve the citizens of St. Johns County.”
