Welcome Back Alachua County Students 🫶

We spoke to the Florida Deputy Sheriff’s Association yesterday evening about a need for one of our own and in less than 24 hours, on a Saturday, their incredible leader John Creamer showed up with a check to support our employee. If you want to know true selfless service, look no further than the FDSA 🌟

In the early morning hours of Tuesday, July 22nd, 2025 multiple agencies came together for a single mission: to bring a missing 77-year-old Army veteran safely back to his family. When the veteran, who suffers from a cognitive disability, was reported missing, the Alachua County Sheriff’s Office, VA Police Department, Gainesville Police Department, University of Florida Public Safety, and Alachua County Fire Rescue joined forces in an hours-long search that stretched into heavily wooded areas. Thanks to the determination and teamwork of everyone involved, ASO Deputy Maharaj and UF Police Officer C. Robson located the veteran deep in the woods. Realizing the thick brush made it impossible for rescue vehicles to reach him, Deputy Maharaj and Officer Robson carried him out on foot, along with additional law enforcement helping in the search. The veteran was carried for approximately 15 minutes, until they could reach a foot path and he could be safely guided and transferred to Alachua County Fire Rescue for medical care. This is a powerful reminder that when it comes to protecting and serving our community, we stand united — across agencies, day or night. Thank you to everyone who worked tirelessly to ensure this hero returned home safely!

𝐃𝐞𝐩𝐮𝐭𝐲 𝐀𝐝𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐋𝐢𝐟𝐞𝐬𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐀𝐢𝐝 𝐅𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐃𝐨𝐰𝐧𝐭𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 On Friday, July 4th, just before midnight, the Gainesville Police Department requested assistance from the Alachua County Sheriff’s Office due to large unauthorized gatherings occurring in multiple areas of downtown Gainesville. Deputies responded to assist, spending over two hours working alongside GPD Officers to disperse large groups of individuals occupying roadways and parking lots—many of whom were engaging in activities such as loud music and open alcohol consumption. At approximately 2:33 a.m., Deputies and Officers heard gunshots coming from a nearby street. Without hesitation, they ran toward the sound of gunfire. Just three minutes later, at 2:36 a.m., the Combined Communications Center began receiving multiple 911 calls about a female who had been shot. K9 Deputy Craig Smith and several other law enforcement personnel quickly responded—only a block away from the scene. Upon arriving, Deputy Smith located the victim, who was losing a significant amount of blood from a gunshot wound to her leg. A bystander was attempting to apply a tourniquet, but recognizing a delay in its effectiveness, Deputy Smith immediately stepped in. He removed a tourniquet from his vest, applied it above the wound, and tightened it to stop the bleeding. With the victim’s condition stabilized, and without concern for his own safety, Deputy Smith paused only briefly to put on protective gloves before returning to render further aid—applying direct pressure and continuing lifesaving efforts. Over the following minutes, Deputies and Officers worked together, using their trauma kits and training to provide the victim with the best possible chance of survival. The bravery shown by ASO Deputies and GPD Officers—running toward danger without hesitation—and the life-saving actions taken by Deputy Smith exemplify the courage, dedication, and teamwork we strive for every day. We are incredibly thankful to report that the victim survived, thanks to the quick and decisive response of Deputy Smith and all those who assisted.
