Hello, everyon
e.
My name is Steve Hunt, and I have the honor of serving as Chief of the Lady Lake Police Department.
On behalf of LLPD, The Town of Lady Lake Mayor Freeman, the Town Commissioners, and Town Manager Lawrence, thank you all for being here today. It’s not every day that a department our size receives this kind of recognition, and I’d be lying if I said it doesn’t feel a little surreal. I stand here humbled and proud—not for myself, but for the incredible men and women I work alongside every single day.
This recognition from the FBI is a tremendous honor, and I want to sincerely thank them—not only for this acknowledgment, but for their continued partnership and support in pursuing justice.
But let’s be clear—the real story here is about teamwork, dedication, and doing the job the right way. We didn’t make this arrest to be in the spotlight. We did it because it was our duty—our responsibility—to protect this community. Continue reading
