- Inside our facilities, you’ll tour the Real Time Intelligence Center (RTIC), where technology and data are used to proactively fight crime, followed by a walk through our 911 Communications Center—the critical link between emergencies and rapid response.
- The event includes a private lunch and open discussion with Sheriff Robert Hardwick, offering a unique forum to share your insights, ask questions, and strengthen the partnership between law enforcement and the business community.
Tickets are $1,000 per person. (Limit 30 people per event.)

MEETING DETAILS

Times: 8am - 3pm

The St. Johns County Sheriff Foundation looks forward to hosting you for this impactful event. All proceeds directly benefit SJSO employees and their families during critical times of need.
HOW WE HELP
EMPLOYEES
Employees of the Sheriff's Department often need assistance to help with personal financial needs. These needs include but are not limited to help in the event of an injury or illness to themselves or a family member creating a hardship. All proceeds from our fundraising activities go directly to support law-enforcement and their families in times of need.
FAMILIES
It is an unfortunate fact, but police officers are injured and killed on the job all to regularly. The St Johns County Sheriff Foundation uses its donations to spring into action to support the spouse and children of the injured or fallen officer. This is the most important cause of the Foundation as the County doesn't have adequate resources to support these families when they experience a loss.
INNOVATIONS
Fighting crime is becoming more and more difficult in today’s world. Our police force is required to continually purchase equipment and technology to defend against our latest threats. The St. Johns County Sheriff Foundation uses it’s donations to help law enforcement purchase these new and innovative tools to keep our families and community safe.
