Match the Patch: Jimmy Holderfield
Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office – Florida
With over four decades of dedication to law enforcement and the Fraternal Order of Police, National Secretary Jimmy Holderfield has made his mark at every level of the organization—and he’s never stopped showing up for those who serve.
Jimmy’s career began at just 19 years old with the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office. Since then, he’s held roles from patrol to Director of Corrections, shaping public safety policy and mentoring generations of officers. His service continues far beyond the badge—he’s spent decades championing legislative change, including PTSD benefits for Florida’s first responders.
As a five-term local lodge president, past Florida State Lodge President, and longtime National FOP leader, Jimmy brings deep knowledge, heart, and resolve to everything he does. His patch stands for wisdom, leadership, and an unshakable commitment to law enforcement families.
You’ll see Jimmy’s patch at Conference. Will yours be there?
