Too many of the citizens of Jackson County are dying under suspicous cirumstances and the cause of their deaths are being ruled drug overdoses with little or no investigation into the facts surrounding their deaths. These deaths are being dismissed way too quickly without the needed in-depth investigation into the real cause behind these tragedies, leaving many unanswered questions and families in despair. Too many parents are burying their children! Young people recently discharged from drug rehabs or from incarceration are turning up dead. This senseless negligence on the part of Jackson County law enforcement needs to be brought to an end. The citizens of Jackson County demand an investigation by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Department of Justice into the corruption and negligence of the Jackson County Sheriff's Department and they want it done immediately! We want it mandated that a comprehensive investigation be done on all suspicous deaths, including those ruled drug overdoses!

According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, there were nearly 70,000 reported cases of drug overdose deaths in the United States in 2019 alone [1]. Yet, how can we be certain that all these cases were indeed overdoses? For each untimely loss of a life, there is a responsibility to thoroughly investigate the circumstances leading to the death, ensuring both justice for the deceased and closue for the families.

We call on all legislative bodies to mandate the requested comprehensive investigations into suspicous deaths, included those labeled drug overdoses. We must ensure truth, justice, ad transparency. This is not only a law enforcement issue, but also a public health and societal integrity issue.

We urge you to sign this petition and join us in the solemn fight for truth and justice!
