Since the start of summer, deputies have completed more than 6,000 Juvenile Arrest and Monitoring (JAM) checks across Lee County.
Throughout the summer months, deputies countywide are assigned morning and evening checks to ensure juveniles on probation are following the conditions of their court-ordered restrictions.
These proactive checks not only help maintain accountability but also strengthen the connection between deputies and juveniles in our community.
Our deputies will continue this increased effort into the school year, ensuring safety and compliance while supporting positive interactions and relationship growth with the youth of Lee County.

The best seat in the house this weekend showcased the people we’re proud to serve every day making memories and celebrating our freedom!
We enjoyed keeping watch and making sure our community was safe, we hope you had a great weekend, Lee County!
3rd Precinct Deputy Hopson responded to a call about a week-old baby raccoon that had been found alone, without its mother. With care and compassion, Deputy Hopson safely took the tiny raccoon into his care and transported it to CROW on Sanibel Island, where wildlife experts will provide the specialized treatment and rehabilitation it needs.
Thanks to Deputy Hopson’s quick response, this healthy little raccoon has a second chance. Without intervention, it would have faced the dangers of the beach and extreme heat on its own.
We’re proud of Deputy Hopson’s commitment to protecting not only our community, but also the wildlife that calls Southwest Florida home.
Thank you, Deputy Hopson, for making a difference—one life at a time! 🦝💚

What started as a wellness check turned into something much more…
When 1st Precinct Deputy Kirby responded to a call in North Fort Myers, he found no medical emergency—but he did find a home with indoor temperatures soaring above 90° after the A/C had failed. Learning the resident wasn`t in a position to replace the unit, he knew he couldn`t just walk away.
Thanks to the incredible generosity of Pete Flatter, manager of Home Depot Store #3119, a brand-new window A/C unit was donated. Deputy Kirby and Deputy Drummond delivered and installed it, bringing cool air and comfort to a grateful resident.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who helped make this possible. This is what community is all about; neighbors truly helping neighbors. 💙❄️
