In recognition of Veterans Day, the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office is closing all of its publicly accessible buildings today, November 11, 2025, as reported by the official JSO website. These closures encompass a range of substations from District 1 at 5258-13 Norwood Avenue through District 6 at 1680 Dunn Avenue, as well as the central Police Memorial Building located at 501 East Bay Street, among others.
The closures will not affect the entirety of JSO’s operations, even though all publicly accessible buildings will remain closed, the Patrol Division and the Communications Center will persist in their usual workings, providing uninterrupted services to the citizens of Jacksonville, the non-emergency number at 904.630.0500 will stay operational for citizens in need of police services, and the usual reminder stands that 9-1-1 is to be dialed only in genuine emergency situations.
The brief pause in building services and accessibility serves as the city’s gesture to honor the men and women who have served in the United States Armed Forces, paying tribute to their sacrifices and their unwavering commitment to the safety and freedom of the nation. All closings will subside and normal operations are set to resume on the following day, November 12, 2025, with all offices and buildings reopening according to their standard operating hours…
