Jacksonville Sheriff's Office

If you work for JSO, here's what brokers know about you

Run a scan on any JSO officer. Same pattern every time: full name, current address, every prior address back to academy, spouse, parents, kids' approximate ages, vehicle. Plus the Duval County Property Appraiser record showing where you live.

Spokeo, Whitepages, and TruePeopleSearch do most of the work. The Duval County Property Appraiser publishes detailed online property records — owner name, mailing address, parcel data, ownership history — and the brokers scrape it directly. Cluster patterns of officers in the Beaches, Mandarin, Orange Park, Middleburg, Fleming Island, St. Johns County, and Nassau County are visible from a zip-code search inside seconds.

What Florida law does for you

Florida Statute §119.071(4)(d) exempts the home address, telephone, date of birth, photographs, and the names and locations of children for active and former sworn law enforcement, firefighters, judges, prosecutors, and a long list of other public servants. File the written request with each agency holding your records and those fields become confidential.

The Duval County Property Appraiser honors a separate redaction request under §119.071. File with the appraiser's office to redact your home address from the public property record. Most JSO members miss this step.

Florida's Marsy's Law was used in some cases to shield officer names when an officer was a victim of a crime. The Florida Supreme Court in 2023 ruled the constitutional victim-rights provision does not categorically shield the names of officers acting in the line of duty — narrowing how it applies. The redaction protections under §119.071 still stand on their own.

What still leaks

Three sources stay open for a JSO officer:

1. Property Appraiser records before redaction. Anything published before you filed the §119.071 request was already scraped. Re-running broker opt-outs after the redaction is critical.
2. Court records. Duval County Clerk of Courts publishes detailed dockets. Civil filings, divorce, traffic — addresses appear unless redacted at filing time.
3. Out-of-state brokers. Spokeo, Whitepages, BeenVerified, and the rest don't honor Florida law. They source from out-of-state aggregators.

Why the family angle matters here

Jacksonville's consolidated city-county footprint is one of the largest in the country. JSO officers spread across multiple counties and concentrate in the same suburban pockets year after year. A spouse's workplace, a kid's school in Duval, Clay, or St. Johns, a parent's address two streets over — all reachable from a single Spokeo profile in five minutes.

The local pattern of naming officers in news coverage of any incident makes this worse. Every named-in-the-news officer is a name that lands on a broker page within hours.

What we do for JSO members

Continuous sweeping across every people-search site that matters, plus a re-check after any Duval Property Appraiser update because that's the fastest re-list path in Florida. Re-listings handled — we re-check every two weeks and refile inside 24 hours when you reappear.

If your zone or the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 5-30 wants to offer this as a member benefit, reach out. We work with locals already.
