When a police officer from the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office (JSO) in Jacksonville, Florida and his colleague go out for a routine patrol in their boat, they notice a giant turtle floating nearby.

Within a few moments, they realize that a crab trap prevents it from swimming, and they decide to spring into action to help this hapless giant turtle get free of a trap that will eventually cause its death. The JSO officer takes a knife and cuts the rope that has tightened around its neck and fin. Despite the difficulties, the turtle is liberated! What a relief! :-)
