Congratulations Sheriff Jackson!!! I met him 2 years ago this month when I was 1 of 5 victims in a shooting. Sheriff Jackson was on the scene! He is active and truly cares about the people in his community. My 2nd occurance was when I asked him for assistant last simmer at the Blueberry festivel when I locked my keyes in my car.
Escambia County Alabama is very lucky to have him for a 2nd term, he is an remarkable person!
I first met Sheriff Jackson years ago when he, and other speakers, did an interesting presentation on drugs for our Neighborhood Watch group in Cottage Hill. What I remember most are some signs to spot meth use, like seeing a large amount of match book packets with the tips removed. I’ve always remembered him for that.
Ole “Jump out,” still at after all these years!!
Great job so far.
Likely will only get better.
Congrats Sheriff Jackson! God bless you and watch over you all.
Men of this caliber are rare these days.
