It’s too bad you can’t clone Grady Judd. He’s absolutely amazing!!!
I’m sorry to see his pain for the other officer that passed away.
I agree 💯
no officer passed in this encounter, 1 officer was shot in the chest and survived because of his bulletproof vest. Please refer to description
@Rob Slover I believe June1708 was referring to the Deputy killed in an earlier incident who was buried the day before this shooting.
Agreed. Wish we had Grady Judd in EVERY COUNTY. This country would be a hell of a lot safer.
I feel terrible for Sheriff Judd. He cares so deeply for his Deputies. I admire this man very much and it hurts me to see his pain.
He’s a great leader. You shouldn’t feel bad for him, the men and women under him find that same language inspiring.
😂. BOOTLICKER 🥾
I swear this whole country could use a lot of this type law enforcement. Great job by you and your deputies. Glad the two officers were not harmed.
When I don’t think that I can Love Sheriff Judd anymore than I can possibly can, here he goes again, saying it like it is. I wish there were more Sheriff Judd’s in this world.
I love love this Sheriff, we need more like him across our country hands down, many many people love you. You are loved.
Great job Sheriff. We're all in debt to you and your deputies for keeping us safe and protecting th we do peace. Prayers to all involved.
Respect to Sheriff Judd, thank you for standing for what is right. I cannot imagine the weight he carries. Prayers coming your way.
Stop making Wishes
@robbierob808 ....go get a Soul....
@robbierob808 get a soul!
@robbierob808 Stop Breathing! Doesn't come off really well now does it??? Think before you type or scroll past and don't comment at all.
I hope somebody thanks this man for his service to the community. He’s been through a lot in the last couple weeks my God. Growing up with a dad as a police chief this hits me hard. I can see the pain that this man is absorbing. I wish I could give him a vacation from all of it
He doesn't take Vacations, his job is his whole life and all he lives for other than his family at home.
He is only happy and fulfilled doing this job. As he has admitted, he was born to be a sheriff.
Sheriff Judd is a man of unshakeable integrity... we need such men in our force in NZ....they seem notably lacking..
He is well loved and well respected in his community and the whole state.
Condolences on losing the first officer, and I'm very glad this 2nd shooting turned out as well as it did. You sir are fantastic and very straight forward, honest, and a superb law enforcement officer, and I truly hope all of your deputies are just as good as you. To the deputy that was shot, and still took his perp in custody, you sir are an absolute badness. (Thats in a dann good way). You guys just keep on doing it like you do. I'm a fan of your department.
They knew what could happen which did ha
So don't cry or especially whining about them being dead
Smfh
If he's so honest why is he so scared of body cams anyone that fears transparency is hiding stuff
@shawn mccarty he's not and they have had them year's before they were mandatory. Unfortunately it's people like you who like to stand behind other's and video only 1/10th of the confrontation & then do a Nathan Phillips - stolen valor Native, that also doesn't know how to tell the truth. Thankfully Nathan didn't realize that so many other people had video's also of the entire confrontation showing he was the actual aggressor & now Nick Sandmann is a very wealthy young man.
Wow, this sheriff is great! I love his no nonsense, truth telling, common sense and to the point attitude!🙏🏽🇺🇸👍🏽
To Sheriff Judd and all his deputies my hat is off to you you have more than earned my Respect . You are a perfect example of what to serve and protect truly means.
He fooled you too huh?? He refuses to even consider body cameras despite his obvious love of the camera. That way, he can spin any narrative he wants to and no one and no video to contradict his obvious lies. Just listen to his blood lust and how he wants his pound of flesh from every criminal. That is just SICK and nothing to be respected.
@What Floats My Boat you know I am 51 and have never had any trouble with law enforcement because it is easier to stay out of trouble then it is to break the law. Every one has their opinion and I'm fine with that but I have no compassion for those who think they can break the law and then scream excessive force if you are caught simply give up and fight your battle in court instead of resisting and escalating the situation. Where I'm from we respect the law and if you break in our house and we catch you then the muzzle flash from a 12 gauge is the last thing you will ever see then and only then we will call 911 and let them know where to pick up the body. You have a wonderful day.
@Mike Robinson way to go mike! And to add who cares if they spin something however they want when the bad guy does worse than that. It’s not like he’s telling a white lie to get the preacher in trouble. I been on both sides of the law and agree Mike Robinson all the way.
I'm here in Ontario Canada and we've had 3 officers killed in less than 3 weeks which is so so rare just to hear 1 being killed in a year. It's mad out there and these officers are so brave to do what they are doing. My heart goes out to these brave souls.
When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns...'nuff said...😔
So glad this had a good ending. Get some rest Sheriff Grady. And keep up the good work.
Sheriff Judd should be sent all over the US. To train other law enforcement officers this man really knows what he is doing and it shows through his deputies. He represents what old time sheriffs were like.
My words exactly, I have said before MANY times!
Most old time sheriff's were involved in lynchings, I don't think this Sheriff wants to be put in that category
If all police were like him the country would be much better. It needs to go back to waving to the police when we see them because of a strong relationship of trust.
I wish all our law enforcement in the country had officers and superiors like you who care about their officers like you! This country would be a better place! God bless you and your officers! ❤❤❤
I want to not only extend my financial gifts to the FL Sheriff’s Association, I also extend my deepest gratitude to you and your entire department of committed staff, for keeping our communities safe and it’s people protected.
I sincerely appreciate your dedication to fair and firm justice, transparency in all you do and say, as well as your no nonsense directness implementing the laws of our great state of FL.
As a retired educator, I embrace your superior communication skills. I thoroughly enjoyed Kelly Ring’s special feature about you. Thank you for sharing your valuable time us.
God Bless and stay safe out there in Polk County.
Hey Nonnie! Thanks for being an educator. Teachers and elementary school counselors were instrumental for me as a kid so the child in me is giving the educator in you a big hug 🍎 🫂
@Quinn Mae I feel the love 💕 it was my honor and privilege for 30 years!
Thank you, Sheriff Grady! I appreciate you and your remarkable Sheriff's Deputies!
Hello Kathleen
How are you doing?
He tells it how it is: so rare these days. God bless and keep this good man and his deputies.
He serves his community, NOT politicians or hate groups
You'd let him hit raw huh?
Safe and quick recovery for your deputies!!!
@B Lqr ayooooo
@M Tio facts
God Bless you and your hero’s protecting us Sheriff, the pain is felt throughout this country.
Prayers for the sheriff Judd and his deputys
Love this sheriff, every other officer needs to follow suit. Be safe out there to all law inforcement.
Sheriff Judd, I admire and respect you so much. I also envy everyone that works under your leadership. Thank you!
And oh by the way, The woman and her children are safe, alive and will never have to deal with the P.O.S. ever again. Thank you for THEIR lives.
I bet she's a peach too.
@WC 'Strawberry' Fields We all know she was going to take the kids so he freaks out, but nobody cares.
Sometimes we get the right people in the right jobs. Good on you Sheriff Judd.
Sheriff Judd is ALWAYS straight forward with the public!!! God bless & protect him and his deputies!!!
Lol. I like how he use the, “c-word” (i.e., children) constantly throughout his little rants. Typical government employee. No, sheriff. They’re future taxpayers to you. Without them, you wouldn’t be able to collect a big fat pension when they become old enough to work.
He spends all his time mugging for the cameras.
@BCLR 5 God Bless You. You need all the help you can get.
God bless those deputies.
Linda, back in the 70’s my cousin, working as New York State Trooper, had a very similar thing happen to him. Thankfully he survived, but left the patrol, he sustained serious injury to his kidneys from the beating he took. We need to keep all first responders, people working in trauma/icu areas in serious prayer. We’ve seen things we will never forget & carry with us on a daily basis. Only by the strength of God do we get through this.

That’s one hell of a Deputy he did his thing I’m glad everything worked out for him
One of my favourite people. An amazing sheriff and an incredible human
These are the types of law enforcements I support. Do what you have to do while remaining professional.
We love you Grady Judd!!!! My thoughts and prayers are with you!!!!
Love love love Grady Judd!! Wish there was a sheriff of the US position he could be in. Thank you sir
LOVE YOU SHERIFF GRADY.
YOU ARE SIMPLY THE BEST.
PRAYERs lifted for YOU @ Ur family.
@ Your Family of Officers @ Deputies...in Polk County. I hope
You can get some rest.
Thank you both for your service. Thank goodness you're both well
I love the way he signs off. "OK we'll see you next time somebody does something real stupid" best sign off ever
My heart goes out to all who put on a police 🚓 uniform. It takes a brave person to want to protect & serve his or her community.
I'm glad your deputy is ok today.
To all in law enforcement, please be careful in the daily routine of your day 💙💙💙💙
Hello@Michelle Dean
How are you doing?
So glad he is okay and thank God for great officers. Thanks to Sheriff Grady and all our LEOs.
Hello@Joy Anders
How are you doing?
Every city needs a sheriff like this.
Sorry to hear about your deputies.
I lost a good friend to domestic violence he was a Kenai, Alaska Police officer.
And I'm glad your deputy is OK.
How is ur climate chg going? I live in Calif & we have no rain! Firestorms were less but cant live without watse. S Cal Az & S Nev & N Mex needs elec from HOOVER Dam. Sorry I hear u have alot of crime & killings up there. I assumed nature lovers would be peaceful. So I know what assume means! 💜🙏💜
Just another day in Kenai, Alaska I am so sorry about your loss 😭
Oh how I love this Sheriff.
Judd: “I’m sorry the gun, jammed. He needed shooting a lot.” ❤
That is THE DUMBEST comment I have EVER heard ANY cop making!!!
To all the other sheriffs out there, this man is a role model . Do what he does. Protect like he protects. Equip your community like he does.
My condolences to his family, friends, coworkers and to All The Police departments, They have a dangerous job and they go out daily to serve and protect. I thank God every day to watch over them and keep them Safe. WHEN I see officer's , I go out of my way to Thank them and tell them how much I appreciate them and everything they do. I'm sorry to hear about this. God Bless You All!
Hello@Theresa Teeters
How are you doing?
WOW that’s incredible policing by both officers the best press conference I’ve seen well done nice to see decent policing in America Thought from the UK 🇬🇧
His press conferences should be the standard for how it’s done everywhere. He’s such an articulate and simply stated communicator.
Thank you Sheriff. We are grieving for you.
Hello@Margaret Stephens
How are you doing?
God bless our deputies and our sheriff Judd. Thanks to all keep watching over us.
I might be a 26 year old man but I still wanna be just like Grady Judd when I grow up.
I’m 75, and I want to be like sheriff Grady when I grow up! 🇬🇧
@William Lyons improve your life.
So are you still a teenager.
His moral standards had to be learned at an early age. His no-nonsense attitude as well. I'm not sure I've never met anyone with the moral compass that Grady Judd has. That is saying something in my experience. I digress. If you weren't taught the types of standards, the good Sheriff practices between birth and age 7 you'd be wasting your time. His values are set to a really high standard, and it shows. I truly think, if you want to be like the good Sheriff, have integrity, show it, and practice it at all times. For those who don't know what integrity is. Please allow an example.
If you walk into a room and see a 100 dollar bill on a table, would you take it? Nobody, but you would ever know that it was you who took it. It isn't yours. Still, nobody would ever know. Would you take the $100?
Ask yourself that question and answer honestly that will gauge how much integrity you have. There's no such thing as part time integrity either. I believe Sheriff Grady Judd exhibits the exact principles law enforcement should strive exhibit. Bless him and his department.
Thank you Lord God and Saint Michael for protecting the PCS deputy. Please come to the defense of all who are dealing with a psycho spouse or partner.
So thankful for your deputy’s survival, go Fabulous deputies xx
Hey Suzie
How are you doing?
The comment about seeing the deputy all smiles and sitting up like he was waiting for a movie to begin brought a smile to my face. Sheriff Judd is the sheriff every county wishes they had.
Grady Judd for US Attorney General!!!! We need that no BS approach. Prayers to all LEOs.
Domestic violence calls are by FAR the most dangerous calls to respond to. When some people are caught in emotion like that, their totally enraged, depressed, suicidal & are not thinking rationally. Glad the deputy survived & is ok.
Those are the calls where u need the SWAT team
To be able to give such details about a crime that was committed means that Sheriff Grady really invest his time in knowing what is happening under his leadership and within his community. Kudos to him!!!
I could listen to this man speak all day and love how he gives it to you straight! No mixing of words here folks... He tells it the way it should be told!
My deepest respect to Mr. Judd and his guys. God bless you all ❤️
I couldn’t hear the audio but God Bless and fast recovery to the Deputy and the whole Sheriffs Office May God keep them safe !! While protecting us !
Blessing and safety towards Sheriff Grady and all those that serve under his leadership.
Hope you are getting some rest Sheriff Grady Judd! You are one in a million!
You are my admired person,bought a place in Big Cypress because my daughter lives there giving it to her thanks for your protection,too many bad people and Yankee attitude.Stay Sheriff, it’s an honor to come in your community.Prays for you what a job you have🙏
Yankee attitude? What does that mean?
If you mean leaving up north and going down there and making Florida a cesspool like the state they left.......well, I agree with you.
Sheriff Grady is a blessing to his community and to his police department. God Bless him!♥️
Hello@Joan Aubry
How are you doing?
Best Sheriff in the country.
I love this Sheriff
I love this guy. You can tell he isn’t just rhyming off a script. He really feels everything he says
Hello@Sandra Leyland
How are you doing?
If I were a little earlier in my law enforcement career I’d seriously consider moving to Florida to work for this man.
God bless you sheriff Judd and God bless your entire staff.
I love this Sheriff. Great story teller too.
Sheriff Grady you are truly a man of God. I cant imagine to be in your shoes. Since I've seen you and been following you on on this channel you and your family have been in my prayers. I live in porland or. No need to say more.
Dam that city is goin down
You have my condolences.
My last time there was a few years ago. It was a beautiful place with bike trails, open markets and great restaurants and now it's nothing but a dirty nasty homeless shelter town. I may never go back !
Much Respect to you and your officers, Sheriff. Congrats to your officers.
Massive respect for you and your men Grady Judd, Massive respect! BACK THE BLUE!
True justice is something you cannot leave to others
@LeePatton these are very wise words that went straight to my heart, we need to speak out about those things that is wrong, criminal and to the disadvantage of the innocent. It is not just the responsibility of Law Enforcement to protect and serve, we are co-responsible for each other.
Stay strong sheriff God bless you!
Love this guy! All sheriffs should be like him.
My heart goes out to all cops
1 off duty cop was walking on a walking trail & got killed with a mass shooting in NC by a 15 yr old. There is no place where a mass shooting hasnt been. Nature walking trail is a 1st.💜🙏💜
*Amen To The True Blues Hero's*
*In There State-With LoveHugs*
Thank you Father for protecting Deputy Nunez! Thank you for all you do everyday! 🙏🏼♥️🕊🌹📿✨🖤💙🖤 Thank you Archangel Michael and officer Nunez’s faith! Sending love and prayers to Officer Blaine’s family and friends, absolutely tragic. Thank you Sheriff Judd and TEAM🙏🏼
I admire and respect this Sheriff greatly. He not only cares deeply for his deputies, but for his entire county as well. I'm from St. Lucie County, FL. Our Sheriff is admirable as well.
Thank goodness the officer is ok how traumatic that must have been for him and the other officer as well God bless them both. 🙏🏻
Hello@Gail Warnock?
How are you doing?
God bless and keep this deputy. St. Michael was definitely looking over him that day.
Love this guy. Said it many times before. Wish he was our Sherriff.
Best sheriff I have ever seen.
YOU GOT THAT RIGHT!
Don't forget Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio. He was one of the good guys too.
Praise God from whom all blessings flow. I pray ALL law inforcement agents will wear their vests! Thank you God for sparing this man’s life!!
This guy is great, every police station needs a man like him in charge!
May God bless these deputies and the sheriff .... this is horrible 🥺😢

Sheriff Judd is a man that cares about Deputies and the safety of the people. Sheriff is no joke and appreciate his love and concerns for everyone. Wish we had one for every county. Stay safe everyone.
"I'm sorry the gun jammed. He needed shooting a lot. (7:30)". You've got to love Sheriff Judd.
Thank you sheriff and your officers !!
Nobody tells the chain of events better than Sheriff Grady Judd ,.. not even newscasters. One of the finest Sheriff's in Florida.
