April 6, 2020

Escambia County (AL) Sheriff Heath Jackson expects citizens in his county will mostly follow the stay-at-home order issued by Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey.

The order, which went into effect at 5 p.m. Friday, means that everyone in Alabama must stay home except for essential activities and services.

“I feel pretty confident our citizens in Escambia County will be abide with the order and only come out when it’s essential. I have faith in our communities, and feel like people will reel in others for everybody’s safety and well being,” Jackson said.

“We plan to address situations that are blatant disregard for the law, but as far as interfering with day to day essential ways of life in our communities, we don’t plan to interfere,” Jackson said.

    Do you really think they will listen? They aren’t!!!!! It’s all over my social media.. just because the beach is shut down doesn’t mean they isn’t going to all other water accesses and parks to party it up. we need more enforcement! I’m sorry but nobody is taking this seriously and we need to see more effort in you guys!
