Some of our Supporters
Supporters of the Justice Coalition believe that victims of violent crimes are the true victims and their
rights embody the spirit of the law and the patriotic foundations of our society. The Justice Coalition
works closely with the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office and Sheriff John Rutherford. Working together with
the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office and recognizing the fine efforts of Nassau, Baker and Clay County
Sheriff Offices the Justice Coalition has been instrumental in bringing more than 1800 criminals to justice. Sheriff Rutherford even takes part in contributing to the Justice Coalition’s monthly publication, Victims' Advocate, by providing a monthly column called 'From the Sheriff's Desk.'
These are just a few of the Justice Coalition supporters who help in the fight against crime here in Jacksonville. For a listing of more of our supporters and sponsors, and information on how you can help visit our “How You Can Help” page.
The Justice Coalition is also proud to recognize their partnership with WJXT Channel 4 in the monthly broadcast “ Eye on Crime.” This television program is broadcast at 8:00 p.m. on the third Thursday of every month.

The program features re-enactments of North Florida’s most notorious unsolved cases; all local criminals and cases. Profiles of Jacksonville Most Wanted and LIVE detective phone banks are also part of the monthly program.
