Sheriff's Advisory Councils (ShAdCos)
Sheriff's Advisory Councils (ShAdCo's)


What is ShAdCo?
ShAdCo's demonstrate a partnership between law enforcement and the community. They illustrate Jacksonville's commitment to community policing. ShAdCo's serve as information exchanges between citizens and the police. Regularly scheduled meetings give citizens an opportunity to communicate directly with command staff and police officers on issues of importance to their communities.

How Does ShAdCo Work?
The City of Jacksonville is divided into six police zones. Each zone has an substation that provides basic police services for members of the surrounding community.  

Each zone is subdivided into sectors. The sectors have ShAdCo's that are composed of law enforcement officers and citizens from that area. Each ShAdCo has an elected chairperson to manage the program. The zone commander work actively with the councils but do not chair the meetings. The groups meet once a month to discuss issues pertaining to their area of the city and to plan solutions. Topics of discussion can include but are not limited to eliminating drug houses, vehicular traffic, home security,and community education.
