ORLANDO, Fla. - Let's start with a simple truth: birds still fly even if they're standing on the ground. Now, apply that same thinking to law enforcement. Just because an officer is working an off-duty assignment, like standing post in a construction zone, doesn't mean their role as a protector of public safety is on pause. In fact, quite the opposite.

Florida's got beaches, sunshine and, yes, wildlife. Lots of it. And it's not unusual to come across animals in the middle of your morning commute. So, how should you react? More importantly, how can you keep yourself (and the animals) safe? Here are six things I always tell drivers when it comes to Florida wildlife on the road:1. Don't swerve.
