Next Friday, November 2, is the deadline for people to apply for a seat on the city’s new crime and safety task force.
The volunteer body will be charged with finding ways to coordinate programs and funding to make Jacksonville a safer place. Dozens of spots are available.
Membership will include local government and law enforcement leaders, as well as educators and representatives of Jacksonville’s faith, business and non-profit communities.
Applicants must commit to meet for several hours at least twice a week for two years.
The application form is available here.
