PUBLIC SERVICE SPOTLIGHT
Meet Lt. Telly Joiner: The Titusville Officer Who’s More Than a Badge
Why Lt. Joiner is a Local Hero
When you think of police work, you might picture a shiny badge and a stern stare. But Lt. Telly Joiner flips that script. With a smile that could rival a sunny day, he’s the patrol lieutenant who brings heart to the Titusville Police Department.
On‑Duty Excellence
- Quick Response: If something happens, you’ll hear Telly in the crew before the situation even unfolds.
- Community Leadership: From neighborhood outreach to school safety talks, he’s the face of proactive policing.
- Team Morale: His annual “Patrol Picnic” raises spirits (and a few extra snacks) for his fellow officers.
Beyond the Uniform
- Volunteer Spirit: Telly’s volunteering at the local food bank is a reminder that heroes spill into everyday life.
- Emergency Evacation Guru: During last year’s flood, he coordinated a raid‑free evacuation—bringing an emergency plan to the next level.
- Pet Lover: He’s the designated “dog‑walking lead” in the department’s canine patrol—a fact that makes the entire force tail‑wag.
Humor and Heart
Ever heard a cop joke that lands? Telly’s “why did the police officer cross the road?” punchline— “to get to the break room on the other side”—gets the whole squad rolling. He proves you can drool over donuts while keeping your eyes on the horizon.
Impact That Extends Past the Badge
Telly doesn’t just enforce the law; he builds trust. In an era where community‑police trust can drop faster than a dropped mic, his approach turns neighborhood chats into genuine conversations. He serves as a bridge between those he protects and those who walk the same streets.
What’s Next for Lt. Telly?
Multi‑fold responsibilities mean an ongoing plan: a scholarship for future police officers, a partnership with local schools for civic education, and the next chapter is already drafted—balance, patience, and, of course, the occasional donut.

- Every practice is a mix of drills and life coaching. “Touchdown” isn’t just a score— it’s a moment of growth.
The Legacy of a Local
Growing up, Lt. Joiner was a Titusville kid: he attended Titusville High School, dove into youth sports, and since then has spent over 18 years on the force, serving the very community he loves.
The Motto
He swears by the mantra: “It’s More Than Just a Job.” And that rings true both on the street and on the field.
A Partner in Play: Bernard Williams

When the League is on Point

- He’s not “off duty” in the literal sense—he’s in his community everywhere.
