It's going to take some time to go through.

That's the word from Jacksonville Sheriff Mike Williams after formally receiving the long-awaited reports at 9 o'clock this morning from each of the four task forces he created over a year ago to suggest improvements to the way the Sheriff's Office operates.

"I haven't seen it," Williams added after Jacksonville University President Tim Cost handed him the copies. "So we're going to take some weeks to digest it [and] look at each recommendation."

Those recommendations from the Training, Transparency, Community Engagement and Resources task forces were given to the Sheriff at Friendship Fountain on the Southbank.

Among the recommendations was that a pilot program is established for body cameras. Williams said that's still on track to begin next spring.
