Sheriff Judd is the best, I just can't get enough of listening to him explain these horrible crimes

[strawberryhush]

Imagine that lady left alone suffering, thinking of her last moments, and how she never thought it would end this way without saying goodbye. That's the cruelty of the crime. Not to mention the family who may have regrets not being there.

[purplelove]

That was really cruel that young man hit the lady and left her to die alone that man only thought about himself that makes him evil just plain old evil May the victim rest in heaven

I love Sheriff Grady, he's a close relative of ours, he just doesn't know it yet. My wife and I decided to adopt him into the family so the kids, grandkids and frankly the two of us can just hang out with him. 😊 Seriously, this man is one of a kind. He represents everything a law enforcement officer should be. He has morals, ethics, values and strong principles. Plus, a brutally honest approach. That's so refreshing ! If all police were like this, there wouldn't be such a disconnect with the public. God bless and be safe Sheriff !

One thing I’ve learned from watching this sheriff is that Polk county has the absolute best in the business in every area of policing

[Cmon]

Grady "my people are the absolute best" Judd

[therugburnz]

He should have stayed at the scene and called his lawyer. It would be bad but not as bad.

[LordOfNothingham]

This man’s use of sarcasm is nothing short of epic.

[vassilylucashenko]

Every county, every city, every town even way down here in Australia need a Sheriff Grady Judd based on what I have seen of this outstanding law enforcement officer and communicator.

[dytch]

He only got 4 years in prison? 10 years probation?? WTF? How sad!

[marythompson]

Maybe that's what's missing in states that don't have Sherrifs, run away crime and overload of cold cases. Lets all get A Sherrif...A good Sherrif.

[franc]

Senior VP for a credit union???are you kidding me? what type of a man is this? imagine if there is NO police in our society? how well off will we be? Im sure things will be disastrously painful

[jackd.]

He was sentenced to a mere 4 years in prison in 2017, the mandatory minimum sentence.

[r.h.robbthompson]

How can any God fearing man, say anything about our blessed Grady Judd. A real professional with several Degrees under his belt and the experience . This world renowned Sheriff has a no nonsense

[philipprint]

I really like this chap. Polk country should be proud of this man.

[camilavasquez]

Am I the only one who enjoys watching Sherriff Judd videos? I feel like I'm part of Polk County & invested in the story.

Hit and run. Especially pedestrian crossing the street. Are a common occurrence in Florida. These people driving act like your in their way.

[darkhorse]

He's real reality TV to me. He explains everything so precise. I wish I could work for their department in some capacity.
