Officer Mark Romano, Director of Patrol and Enforcement for the Jacksonville Sheriff&#8217;s Office, says community involvement is crucial when it comes to solving crimes.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>                                            &#13;<br \/>\n                                                <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.firstcoastnews.com\/assets\/shared-images\/icons\/arrow-circle-down.svg\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\"\/>&#13;<\/p>\n<p>                                            &#13;<br \/>\n                                                This story continues below.&#13;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Police work is, it&#8217;s a dangerous job,&#8221; Director Romano said. &#8220;We just ask for information from the community. We don&#8217;t ask them to take any action. We don&#8217;t ask them to hold people or stay where they saw the person or give any other information than just tell us who they are, or tell us where they&#8217;re at, and then let the police do their job.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Since the unsolved crimes page launched, JSO says they&#8217;ve received more than 700 tips from community members and have positively identified about 600 suspects. Director Romano has been spearheading this initiative, coming up with the idea for the &#8220;unsolved crimes&#8221; page as well as the new &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/missingperson.jaxsheriff.org\/cases\/2#open\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">missing persons<\/a>&#8221; and &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/wanted.jaxsheriff.org\/cases\/3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">wanted<\/a>&#8221; pages.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You click on a picture of a wanted person or of a person who&#8217;s committing a crime that we don&#8217;t know who that is,&#8221; Romano said. &#8220;You don&#8217;t have to leave your name. \u00a0We&#8217;re not gonna come track you down. We just need the information to help us, give us that investigative lead to hold that person accountable.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>If you have information you&#8217;d like to share with the Jacksonville Sheriff&#8217;s Office regarding either a crime or missing person, you can submit your tips on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jaxsheriff.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Jacksonville Sheriff&#8217;s Office website<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The new sites follow the success of the unsolved crimes webpage, the department said, and are designed to&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":295041,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[116,118,117],"class_list":["post-295040","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-jacksonville","tag-jacksonville","tag-jacksonville-headlines","tag-jacksonville-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/295040","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=295040"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/295040\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/295041"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=295040"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=295040"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=295040"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
