Welcome to

Attorney General, Pam Bondi and Governor Rick Scott honored some of Florida’s heroes at the state Capitol today. Five law enforcement officers and four victim advocates were acknowledged for their selfless efforts and dedication to helping victims and their families. Before handing out the awards, Bondi read the courageous stories of each recipient. After the awards were given each recipient met Governor Rick Scott. Scott says the pleasure is all his.

“But the positive is, there’s a lot of great people in this state that show up and take care of these victims, there’s a lot of great people that show up and make sure the individuals that do these crimes are prosecuted and sent to prison,” said Scott.

Nominations for the awards given today came statewide, including from public and private organizations.
