What
a passionate presentation from Lake Ray to the Northside
Business Leaders about the JaxPort, Government and upcoming
State of Florida/Jacksonville matters. I have had the privilege
to hear Lake speak many times over the years and in my mind this
was one of his best. He was honest and to the point on the
various topics. Lake stayed after the meeting to answer
the concerns of the members and guests.
These
kinds of guests are what makes being a member of NBL
important! Great job by Ray & Patricia.

Officer
Jay L. Taylor Jr.
We have selected
Officer Jay L. Taylor Jr. as our Officer of the Quarter.
Listed below is a summary of his exemplary service.
In January of 2010, several business burglaries, auto
thefts and grand thefts took place in the commercial
districts of Zone 6. Officer Taylor recognized this
pattern before any other Unit in the Department and initiated an
extensive investigation into these in attempt to solve
them. During the next several weeks, he put forth an
outstanding effort and devoted not only his on-duty time, but
also several hundred hours of his off-duty time. In doing
so, Officer Taylor was able to glean several key pieces of
information and evidence which verified the crimes were related.
He discovered the losses were actually in the multimillion
dollar levels, far greater than anyone had initially suspected.
Additionally, his efforts were directly responsible for the
identification of several individuals who were participants in
this organized crime ring. These individuals have since
been associated with additional crimes out of the
area. Because of the depth this investigation has now
taken, several other local, State, and Federal Agencies are now
involved and pursuing other potential leads uncovered from
Officer Taylor's investigation. The fact this has become
part of a continued investigation precludes the revelation of
specific facts and information at this time, but highlights
the accomplishment, dedication and commitment of Officer Jay
Taylor to this Department.
Thanks,
Lt. Daniel T. Adams
