JACKSONVILLE, Fla. ~ Today, Governor Ron DeSantis visited the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office to deliver $1,000 bonuses to first responders in recognition of their dedicated public service. The Governor also announced more than 3,100 recruitment bonuses awarded to new law enforcement officers through the Florida Law Enforcement Recruitment Bonus Payment Program.
The Governor expressed his appreciation for the first responders and their commitment to serving their communities. "While other states are busy defunding their police, hiring non-citizens and kneecapping their local economies, in Florida we choose to reward our first responders for their service," said Governor DeSantis.
Florida Secretary of Commerce J. Alex Kelly also shared his support for the program. "FloridaCommerce is proud to share in Governor DeSantis' commitment to our first responders by administering the Essential First Responder Recognition Payment Program for a third year and the Law Enforcement Recognition Bonus Payment Program for a second year," said Kelly. "We are proud to be a law-and-order state under the Governor's Freedom First policies, and we recognize Florida's first responders for the difficult work they do each day to support their communities."
