JACKSONVILLE, Fla. \u2014 The Jacksonville Sheriff\u2019s Office has launched two new web pages to get the public\u2019s help in finding wanted and missing persons. <\/p>\n
One page is dedicated to wanted suspects, and another is dedicated to missing persons. You can leave tips, anonymously if you chose, which the department said goes a long way towards solving these cases. <\/p>\n

They then rely on the public\u2019s help to identify the person\u2019s name and whereabouts. If you\u2019re concerned about anonymity\u2013you\u2019re covered. <\/p>\n \u201cWhen you go on the page, whether it be the unsolved crime page or the webpage, you don\u2019t have to leave your name. The option is to click on it to classify who that person is and where that person is. There\u2019s also crime stopper information on the page. You can call crime stoppers anonymously, and leave information,\u201d Romano said. <\/p>\n [DOWNLOAD: Free Action News Jax app for alerts as news breaks<\/a>]<\/p>\n Then there\u2019s the missing persons page, filled with lost faces.<\/p>\n \u201cWe want to bring loved ones back to their loved ones. If someone knows where someone is, it\u2019s reported missing click on the page. Give us a name or a location and we\u2019ll do our job,\u201d Romano said. <\/p>\n JSO said the two new pages follow the success of their Unsolved Crimes Page for BOLO (Be On the Look-Out) photos of unidentified suspects who committed crimes in Jacksonville. Since its launch in June 2023, JSO said the Unsolved Crimes page has generated more than 700 tips from community members and identified more than 600 suspects.<\/p>\n [SIGN UP: Action News Jax Daily Headlines Newsletter<\/a>] <\/p>\n \u201cI say it, the Sheriff says it, the Undersheriff, says it.
