Jacksonville Police Department
Weekly Service Call Overview
July 20, 2026 – July 26, 2026

The following are just a few highlights of the many calls for service and proactive activities the Jacksonville Police Department responded to during the week.

On 7/20/26 and 7/24/26, JPD officers participated in more than 16 hours of extensive fi****ms training under the instruction of our DPSST Certified Fi****ms Instructor, Officer Fuhrman. During the training, officers completed their annual handgun qualification while also receiving advanced instruction in tactics, fi****ms proficiency, and other critical law enforcement skills to remain current with modern policing techniques.

This training marks a significant milestone for our department, as it is the first time JPD has had a certified in-house fi****ms instructor. Having this capability allows for more frequent, comprehensive training opportunities, helping ensure our officers remain well-prepared to provide the highest level of service and safety to the Jacksonville community. (First picture)

On 7/24/26 at approximately 7:59 p.m., JPD officers were dispatched to the 4200 block of Bellinger Road for a reported single-vehicle rollover crash. Upon arrival, officers contacted the lone occupant, a male juvenile, who had safely self-extricated from the vehicle.

On 7/24/26 at approximately 9:58 p.m., a JPD officer conducted a traffic stop in the 600 block of E. California Street. The investigation revealed the male driver was operating the vehicle while his driving privileges were criminally suspended at the misdemeanor level and that the vehicle was uninsured.
