Miami Beach says law-breaking partiers no longer tolerated
Fox News
South Beach's sizzling party scene is about to undergo a massive boost in police presence and tougher crackdowns on raucous crowds and crime, weeks after a tourist eating dinner with his family was fatally shot at a Miami Beach restaurant, authorities say.
Miami Beach Mayor Dan Gelber ordered police, along with fire rescue, parking, sanitation and other departments to devise a unified strategy to deal with the crowds. The police department reassigned an average of 40 officers to patrol South Beach streets, to increase "visibility" not just on nights and weekends, but throughout the day, the memo stated. Ten officers from the county are being added every weekend to South Beach duty for the rest of the year, Gelber said in a video message Friday.More Related News
