The horn sound that punctuated a 1-0 home loss to Texas did not hurt Grand Canyon nearly as much as three pinging sounds of the first half Sunday night.

It has been the honor of my lifetime to serve as Florida’s Attorney General.

This week, I teamed up with the Florida Highway Patrol, Florida Department of Transportation, and Mothers Against Drunk Driving to urge Floridians to be cautious behind the wheel during the 100 Deadly Days of Summer. Historically, Memorial Day through Labor Day is the most dangerous time of year on the roadways, with an average of seven people dying per day nationwide from accidents involving teen drivers.

This week, our entire nation recognized National Police Week, a time to honor the sacrifices made by courageous individuals who take the oath to protect and serve.

In Florida, we pride ourselves on being the most pro-law enforcement state in the nation.
Honoring those who made the ultimate sacrifice
This week, we memorialized those lost in the line of duty at the Florida Sheriffs Association’s annual Law Enforcement Memorial Ceremony.

We are so inspired by all our Special Olympics athletes
This week, I addressed local and state law enforcement officials during the annual Law Enforcement Torch Run at the Florida Capitol ahead of the 2024 Special Olympics Florida State Summer Games.

Standing together to keep Florida on the right track
This week, standing with more than 30 Florida Sheriffs and the Florida Chamber of Commerce, we announced a first-of-its-kind report outlining how to keep our state on the right track.

This is no accident, and the new Building Stronger Safer Cities report outlines how some parts of the country took dangerous, unproven detours, while our leaders stayed focused on sound, commonsense criminal justice policies.
Don’t fall victim to scammers this tax season
This week, we launched our 2024 Tax Season Scam Series to help Floridians avoid falling prey to fraudulent schemes when preparing returns. As Tax Day approaches, it’s important to know that scammers may attempt to exploit the stress many feel when preparing taxes to steal personal and financial information.

Hospital joins in effort to combat human trafficking
