Fleming Island: CCSO Territory

Fleming Island is an affluent unincorporated community in Clay County. There is no city police; the Clay County Sheriff's Office (CCSO) provides law enforcement. All arrests transport to the Clay County Jail in Green Cove Springs, about 15 minutes south.

US-17 Commercial Center

US-17 is the primary corridor through Fleming Island, heavily developed with shopping centers, restaurants, and medical facilities. Retail theft and traffic enforcement are concentrated along this route. CCSO maintains a district station nearby to serve the growing population.

St. Johns River and Black Creek

Fleming Island is bordered by the St. Johns River (east) and Black Creek (south). The waterfront areas and marinas generate FWC enforcement for BUI, boating safety, and fishing violations. The affluent waterfront neighborhoods generate property protection patrols.

Master-Planned Suburbs

The community consists largely of master-planned subdivisions (like Eagle Harbor and Pace Island) with private amenities. Private security often handles initial responses, coordinating with CCSO for criminal matters. The community is a major bedroom community for Jacksonville commuters.

Clay County Clerk

The Clay County Clerk at (904) 269-6302 handles case lookups. The 4th Circuit covers Clay, Duval, and Nassau counties. The Clay County Courthouse is located at 825 N. Orange Avenue in Green Cove Springs, adjacent to the jail facility.

Pace Island and Eagle Harbor

The affluent subdivisions of Pace Island and Eagle Harbor define Fleming Island's residential character. These communities feature extensive golf courses and country clubs. CCSO handles traffic enforcement on the main thoroughfares, while the neighborhoods themselves experience very low crime rates. The community's rapid growth has led to increased infrastructure demands, making traffic management on US-17 a primary law enforcement priority.
