MEET LAKESHA BURTON
"My campaign is about you, not about power, prestige or party.
Join us as we move FORWARD TOGETHER!”
Retired JSO Assistant Chief Lakesha Burton is the leader who will bring change to Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office. During more than 24 years of professional law enforcement experience she set records for reducing crime in the area she commanded for JSO. During her time as a patrol and enforcement commander in the Arlington/Beaches area, she and her team of officers reduced murders, gunfire, burglaries and home invasions more than did officers in any other zone. She’s ready to engage citizens, businesses and other stakeholders in a new brand of community policing.
