Public Service Announcement

As most of you are aware, The Florida Department of Transportation has revoked the permits that allowed law enforcement to use license plate readers on state roads.

The Lawtey Police Department will join many other agencies throughout the State and comply with that directive. I have also directed my command staff to ensure that all access to any LPR platforms be deactivated immediately.

Any questions or concerns can be directed to this office.

Thank you
Jerry E. Feltner
Chief of Police
