Eddie Bounds – “An Officer that put his uniform, badge and gun on, day in and day out, to unselfishly protect the community he loved. An Officer that used his love for sports and unwavering love for his community and Fletcher High School as a gateway to connect, mentor and coach hundreds of children and student athletes. A Police Officer who was known and respected for performing his law enforcement duties with honor, integrity and compassion.”
Eddie Bounds.

Eddie Bounds served this community for forty-two years, virtually all of them as a police officer with the Jacksonville Beach Police Department and then with the Neptune Beach Police Department. He started his career at Jax Beach and served for over 24 years, retiring as Sgt. Bounds then went to the Duval County Schools Police Department and was a SRO (school resource officer) at Fletcher for 5 years as well as the head JV baseball coach. He then went to NBPD where he was there for 11 years total. 40 years in law enforcement!

With son Tyler.

During his time in law enforcement Eddie bounds served as detective as well as a member of the SWAT team. As a police officer Eddie served the community with pride and honor, as a local boy he just loved this community and was an advocate for everything and anything that was good!

With daughter Kaleigh.

Bounds was a devoted husband and father, and was blessed to see his son Tyler become a Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office deputy. He was equally proud of his daughter Kaleigh and was devoted to wife Janice.
