JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office headquarters has officially closed its downtown location to the public. In a news release, a JSO spokeswoman said Thursday was its last day open to the public before it reopens on Sept. 28 at its new facility in Brooklyn. JSO headquarters is moving just a few miles south down the banks of the St. Johns River into the Florida Blue building off Riverside Avenue — a 20-story building that overlooks the river.

“The Police Memorial Building was nearly 50 years old and had numerous issues, including HVAC problems, leaks, lack of storage, and limited parking,” said Vic Micolucci, strategic communications executive at JSO. “The agency outgrew the space for the hundreds of investigative and administrative employees who work each day. JSO is a modern and evolving agency that is growing to support our growing city.” JSO says District 2 through 6 substations will remain open throughout the duration of the move, so they don’t expect any lapse in public services. District 1, however, will be closed starting tomorrow, Friday, Sept.
