K9 JAK began his service with the Lee County Sheriff’s Office in 2013. Trained in patrol and narcotics detection, JAK was partnered with Lt. Walkowiak and faithfully served the citizens of Lee County until his retirement in 2019.
JAK was named in honor of fallen Tampa Police Department Officer Jeffrey Allan Kocab, who was killed in the line of duty in 2010. Officer Kocab and Lt. Walkowiak attended the police academy together, making JAK’s name a lasting tribute to a fallen brother in law enforcement.
Throughout his career, JAK demonstrated incredible courage and loyalty. In 2016, he assisted deputies in apprehending a suspect who had shot a Sanibel Police Department officer during a traffic stop.
In 2018, JAK was credited with saving his partner’s life while apprehending an armed suspect. When the suspect pointed a firearm at Lt. Walkowiak, JAK immediately charged, diverting the suspect’s attention and allowing deputies to neutralize the threat without any deputies being injured.
JAK’s courage and unwavering instinct to protect his handler embodied the very best qualities of a law enforcement K9. In retirement, he spent his remaining years alongside Lt. Walkowiak and his family.

It is always a pleasure to showcase the important work that happens behind the scenes, from the techniques our forensic professionals use to uncover clues and help solve crimes, to the meticulous process of handling and analyzing evidence.
Our goal is to provide transparency into how we process evidence, recovered and confiscated items, drugs, and weapons, all in support of our mission to keep our residents safe and seek justice for victims of crime.
Thank you to the Hertz Veterans, First Responders and Allies Employee Resource Group for spending time with us and learning more about the work our team does every day to serve our community.

Our Incident Management Team is meeting for a scenario-based roundtable exercise designed to strengthen readiness, sharpen decision-making, and keep our team’s skills current.
Through ongoing training and realistic scenarios, we ensure our team is prepared to respond effectively and coordinate resources when an incident arises.
Training today. Preparedness for tomorrow.
Members of #TeamLCSO participated in this year`s 𝐅𝐢𝐞𝐥𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐅𝐥𝐚𝐠𝐬 event, hosted annually by 92.5 FOX News, to honor the lives lost in the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
Across Southwest Florida, attendees came together for simultaneous flag-planting ceremonies, placing 2,977 American flags in the ground, one for each life lost.
On this 25th anniversary, we pause to remember those who were taken from us, honor the heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice, and stand together as a community to ensure their stories and legacy are never forgotten.

Law enforcement is constantly evolving, and the ability to adapt is a critical advantage.
Thanks to the generosity of a community donor, LCSO acquired a modular training system from UnHinged that allows our deputies to train in constantly changing environments.
This year, all LCSO law enforcement personnel participated in reality-based training, practicing breaching techniques, tactics, and critical-incident response across a variety of scenarios and floorplans.
At #TeamLCSO, we’re committed to innovative training that prepares our deputies for the challenges of today while building greater operational flexibility for tomorrow.
Watch real stories from the field, see how we work with the community, and get the latest updates straight from the source.
