Polk County Pick’Em
Here’s a little fun… Polk county just announced ANOTHER “Human Trafficking Sting”. This month’s sting was called “Fall Haul 2” and it claimed 160 Arrests. By now we already know about Sheriff Grady Judd’s “human trafficking operations”, which should never be considered “human trafficking” operations because they don’t find victims of human trafficking – they are more like very aggressive prostitution stings – and which are never worthy of a press conference – though Sheriff Judd can’t help himself.
We wrote this story: https://floridaactioncommittee.org/whatever-came-of-operation-march-sadness/ just a few weeks ago. Now this week we hear about this other operation.
With Halloween around the corner, we thought it would be clever to have a little contest to see who can come closest in a little game of “Polk County Pick’Em”. There is no prize for winning. This is just for fun. If you want to share your guesses, please only enter your guesses only once.
Here are the questions:
- Will Polk conduct another “human trafficking operation in October”?
- What will the name of the operation be?
- Over how many days will the operation take place?
- How many people will be arrested during the human trafficking operation?
- How Many actual human traffickers will be caught?
- How many actual victims of human trafficking will be caught?
- Among those arrested, will there be more teachers, police officers or Disney workers?
- How many people will be standing behind Sheriff Judd at the press conference announcing the results?
And here are the author’s picks:
- Will Polk conduct another “human trafficking operation in October”?
- Yes. Absolutely. It would not be Halloween in Polk County without one.
- What will the name of the operation be?
- Operation No Trick No Treat. The recent trend has been to recycle.
- Over how many days will the operation take place?
- 14 days. Since he just did one in September, he will need a bit more time to fill the poster board.
- How many people will be arrested during the human trafficking operation?
- 103.
- How Many actual human traffickers will be caught?
- None
- How many actual victims of human trafficking will be caught?
- None – initial reports will claim to have rescued a couple but there’s never a follow up to these and you’d think a rescued victim would be a bigger story.
- Among those arrested, will there be more teachers, police officers or Disney workers?
- Disney workers. Since it makes for good headlines, my guess is that Polk’s marketing efforts target them somehow.
- How many people will be standing behind Sheriff Judd at the press conference announcing the results?
- 4. It’s an even number. The large poster would block a bigger entourage.

Yes. It will be called operation crook-r-treat. It will run 15 days. 24 will be arrested. 0 human actual trafficker will be caught. 0 trafficked victims. Most arrested will be state employees of men of varying ages who were looking for sex with of age women and then subject to bait and switch tactics. I’ll stay 7 police officers. He will then go on to berate the accused but make no mention of the family killed by a Drunk Driver that was trick r treating
Answers to the questions:
Yes.
Operation Jack o lantern, because it will be halloween.
It will run for 12 days, with Halloween being one of the main days.
Zero “traffickers” will be arrested, because this sting will focus only on registrants.
Again, zero “traffickers” will actually be arrested, but 14 registrants will be arrested for minor infractions, and the sheriff will make sure to blow it all out of proportion claiming how his streets are now safer for children.
There will be zero actual “trafficking” victims rescued.
Only registrants will be arrested, because its halloween and people on the registry will be better news than disney workers.
Only 4 people will be standing by the poster, because any more would distract the viewer from looking at the sheriff’s huge ego.
Shady Grady as he is called in prison should worry more about the meth labs in his County instead of finding John’s and escorts. I also was told in prison and I’m saying it’s true that shady busts labs then releases the people that worked there work for him in exchange for being free.
I assume they’ll charge a sex worker with having human-trafficked herself.
Polk County??
They’ll pick up about 5 elderly hookers & 17 Johns.
Sheriff Rosco P. Coltraine Judd will label it Operation Enduring Sleezedom and strut like a country rooster!
One more question: What is THE most dangerous place in Florida?
Answer: The distance between Grady Judd and a camera.
Sorry…I just couldn’t resist.
Elena, too funny. Thanks for the good laugh.
