Last night, St. Augustine Beach Commissioners agreed with Chief Robert Hardwick – there will be fifteen (15) law enforcement officers and two support staff. No one is being fired. There will be no retaliation in violation of officers' First Amendment rights to raise matters of public concern. There will be no County takeover of the SAPD. The vote was unanimous. Thank you for listening, and thank you for supporting the First Amendment. Happy Independence Day.
Our police officers have the right to raise public concerns and to make reports and to attend Commission meetings.
Our Constitution in its majesty confers those rights. The Beach Commission now respects them.
Thank you.
