“I am so appreciative of Chair Martha Santiago and the entire Board of County Commissioners for making this new Sheriff’s substation a reality.

We look forward to continuing our partnership with county government and the citizens of Poinciana and other Northeast Polk County citizens to keep our communities safe.” – Grady Judd, Sheriff

“This is an exciting milestone for our citizens and businesses in the Poinciana and Ridge/Northeast Polk area.
