The swearing-in ceremony took place at Bible Believers Baptist Church in Mandarin. After taking an oath, Waters thanked God and members of the church for helping him become sheriff.
Before these three, John Rutherford, Nat Glover and Jim McMillian were the three previous sheriffs to have served Jacksonville. That was between 1986 and 2015 — nearly three decades.
“I’m very excited. I appreciate the mandate from the voters. It’s amazing,” Waters said. “Overwhelmingly, they they chose me in the primary and then a general. So I have a mandate from them to go forward and do the very best that we can.” Waters said he has a plan to address the continuing violent crime. He said he will start by realigning patrol zones.
Waters told me the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office has to consider the population of Duval and place units in places that make sense logistically. He also acknowledges the department must do more to improve its outreach in the community.
