JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – As another school year begins in Flagler County, deputies are beginning a 14-day enforcement, education and awareness operation led by the Sheriff's Office.

The Sheriff's Office says while the operation is set to last 14 days ‘Operation School Zone Safety is NO ACCIDENT’ and is already delivering results.
