Every day, our correctional officers say goodbye to their families and walk into harm’s way to face hardened criminals. Last year, they were assaulted nearly 2,000 times. This isn’t just a job—it’s a sacrifice. These heroes deserve our full support.

Challenge accepted @DrEricHall! Sec. Dixon's favorite way to get moving is spending time outdoors alongside the incredible FDC officers who serve FL. He recently joined a K9 team during a search & rescue training. #HealthierYouFl Are you up for the challenge Comm. Glass @fdlepio?

First stop ended up being a drug bust tonight with probation and sheriff department right here at home. Heroin, meth, crack, needles. Also found Fentanyl. It was a long night but well worth it. We have wonderful people protecting our community.
