SCSO - The Dispatcher
1 - Badges & Backstories: Jordan Gill
Deputy Jordan Gill earned her bachelor’s degree in forensic science from the University of Central Florida and is currently pursuing her master’s in the same field.
In 2021, she joined the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office, working in the Latent Print Unit of the Forensics Department. She loved the role because it was the perfect blend of science and attention to detail. During her time there, she had the opportunity to attend the Community Law Enforcement Academy (CLEA), which gave her a broader perspective of the agency, and also participated in the ride-along program.
Deputy Gill was always drawn to the idea of being a Deputy, believing she could better serve her community by preventing crime rather than just analyzing it after the fact. This passion led her to enroll in the Seminole State Law Enforcement Academy, where she was honored to serve as the class leader and became the first recipient of the Bobby Fisher and Patti Long Law Enforcement Academy Police Standards (L.E.A.P.S) Endowed Scholarship.
Now, a Deputy Sheriff, she cherishes every moment of her new career as a Deputy and feels grateful to use her background making a difference on the front lines.

4 - Scam Alert
Our agency will never call or text you about warrants for your arrest or missed Jury Duty. These are scams. Suspects claiming to be law enforcement often demand Bitcoin or gift cards for these bogus infractions. If you are contacted, ignore them!
5 - K9 Program Presentation
Last week K-9 handlers Amanda Reres and Randy Payette presented to the Sanford Civil Air Patrol cadet program. During the presentation, cadets received an overview of the Sheriff’s Office K-9 program and learned about K-9 capabilities during search responses, including missing person investigations.
