It was a beautiful morning to celebrate and honor former Jacksonville Beach City Councilwoman Margaret McQueen. There was no better way to close out Women's History Month than to remember Margaret McQueen's contributions to the Jacksonville Beach community with the unveiling of her honorary sign at the corner of 2nd Ave S and 7th St S, across the street from her home. As the first African American elected to the Jacksonville Beach City Council, she was an inspiration and a true public servant to our community!

As a result of the shootings and senseless murder in the downtown last Sunday, Jax Beach Police Department will be increasing their presence in the downtown to ensure the downtown is safe and send the message to everyone that violence and bad behavior will not be tolerated. Chief Smith has shared the following plan for this weekend and the weeks ahead:

"Please remember that JBPD is intelligence and weather driven. Despite our typical operations, we want people to feel safe this weekend, especially after the events of last Sunday. JBPD has six officers working in the downtown area tonight [Friday]. Additionally, there’s three or four Officers working extra duty at downtown establishments. JBPD has anywhere from 5 to 10 officers, depending on time of day, in the downtown in the afternoon and evening tomorrow (Saturday), separate from patrol. On Sunday, JBPD will have a total of 18 officers in downtown after 3 PM until sunset, separate from patrol. Florida Highway Patrol is also going to start helping us with evening traffic issues in the next few weeks. Commander Shaughnessy has talked to the JSO Assistant Chief in Zone 2 (across the bridge). JSO and JBPD are in agreement that if either party receives specific intelligence requiring additional resources, JSO will be here to back us up. JSO has also indicated that if any situation starts to deteriorate at any time throughout the day, they will send units to assist us in proactive activities."
