St. Johns County Sheriff's Office Impliments On-line Reporting for Low-Level Crimes
http://www.sjso.org/
Direct link to Sheriff's Office crime reporting page: http://sjso.org/reporting.aspx
Press Release: http://www.sjso.org/media/On%20Line%20Reporting.pdf
In an effort to both be convenient for our citizens and to help reduce costs to the Sheriff’s Office, St. Johns County Sheriff David Shoar announced the implementation of “Online Reporting” for select incidents. “The challenge of this endeavor,” Shoar said, “is to maximize efficiencies and effectiveness, and at the same time, not sacrifice public safety or the quality of life our community deserves.”
Sheriff Shoar directed his management team to discover options that will allow for more discretionary patrol time and to give additional flexibility in how deputies are deployed. One of those options was Online Reporting, which allows citizens to file and receive a copy of a report without leaving their home. The types of reports that can be generated online are limited to low level crimes where no evidence or suspect information exists, thus saving thousands of tax dollars each year.
At the present time you will be able to file online reports for lost property, vandalism, thefts of not more than $300, identity theft, vehicle burglaries and harassing phone calls. With over 3,100 reports of these types of calls over the past year we could anticipate a significant savings if some of these cases were reported online, according to Shoar. It is important to note that all online reports will be reviewed and approved by a law enforcement supervisor.
Sheriff Shoar stressed that online reporting is simply an option our citizens may utilize to assist them in documenting a crime and is NOT mandatory. He added, “As always our deputies will continue to respond and meet with any citizen for any reason when they are requested.”
If you would like to learn more about online reporting, please visit the St. Johns County Sheriff’s Office website at www.sjso.org, and click on the logo for online reporting.

February 2011 Newsletter
WOW! I can’t believe how the time is flying. 2011 already! When I was much younger, I thought by this time we’d all be getting back and forth to work like the Jestsons did!! (I hope most of you remember watching the Jetsons’ cartoons.) Think about it…..a lot of space programs we watched as children are a reality today!
A new year is the time to think about ways to enrich our lives. Think of ways you can reduce your stress.
- Turn off the television
- Take time to read. Whether you’re reading for pleasure or to learn something, it’s a peaceful time. (I highly recommend the Bible. It has everything; love, sex, murder, adultery, war and redemption.)
- Be thankful for what you have. It can always get worse.
- If you have children, spend more quality time with them. They grow too fast.
- If you’re fortunate enough to still have your parents, spend more time with them. They can be a wealth of information.
- “Stay in your own lane.” (Quoted by Paula Dean). What does that mean? Not every problem has to become your problem. Learn which ones should involve you and which ones should not. I’m sure we all thought life would get easier as we floated into retirement age. I know I did. Well, I’m learning to become a better driver and “stay in my own lane”.
COMMUNITY MEETINGS
- March 8, 2011 - 7:30 p.m.
- June 14, 2011 - 7:30 p.m.

IMPORTANT NUMBERS TO KEEP HANDY

Non-emergency Fire Dept. 904-829-2226
Florida Highway Patrol 904-825-5080
St. Augustine Beach Police Dept 904-471-3600

Sunshine Bus Co. 904-209-3716
Recycling Dept. 904-827-1005
St. John’s County Wildlife Control 888-404-3922
One of the most important numbers is the St. Johns County Sheriff’s Dept. Keep it handy. If you see suspicious activity you must call the police. Not a board member after the fact. It’s good to make someone on the board aware of any illegal situation and the fact that the police were notified.
Remember…..each street is its own “neighborhood watch program”.

ARTICLES IN THE FIRST COAST JOURNAL
It is my understanding that anyone can put an article in the First Coast Communities Journal.
There are only two articles that are sanctioned by the TBPOA Board. The ones written by me and by Sharon McIlhenney. Any other articles are submitted by individuals expressing their own personal opinions. They are neither approved by or are the express opinions of the TBPOA Board.
MONTHLY NEWSLETTER
Last, but not least. Around the end of every month, the First Coast Communities Journal is delivered to you (free of charge) in an orange plastic bag. I think some people think this is an advertisement so they toss it without even looking at it. It has information in it regarding Treasure Beach…..please read it. It is not an advertisement.
Sincerely,
Paula Murphy, President
Treasure Beach Property Owners Assn.
