In Flagler, Life-Saving Policing You Can Be Proud Of

December 28, 2019 | FlaglerLive | 6 Comments

A suicide-by-cop situation in the parking lot of the Flagler County courthouse in march 2017, one of several standoffs with armed or seemingly armed individuals that sheriff's deputies resolved peacefully.

The Flagler County Sheriff’s Office is entering its eighth year without a single officer-initiated shooting of a civilian, a heroic achievement that contrasts tragically with jurisdictions across the country where 900 to 1,000 civilians lose their lives annually.

For 2nd Time in 3 Weeks Man Pulls a Gun on Flagler Deputies, But No Arrest This Time

September 7, 2018 | FlaglerLive | 15 Comments

A video still from a deputy's body cam showing Bruce Bruce pointing a gun at deputies at his door the morning of Sept. 3. Deputies had gone to his house to check on him after reports that he may have been suicidal.

Flagler deputies were checking on a 33-year-old man who had been reported to be suicidal (possibly falsely). He came out of his house pointing a gun at the deputies.
