A popular spring holiday destination in Florida has finished organizing hordes of university students every year, in accordance with the senior official of the city’s law.
“Panama City Beach can no longer be a spring vacation city,” said Panama City Chief Jr Talamantez, on the Facebook page of the department on Sunday. “That time is over. Every year we try to manage it, and every year it brings more challenges. I am not willing to risk the security of our city to hold on to something that no longer works.”
In the coming weeks, Talamanzz said, the police will have “serious discussions” with the stakeholders in the leadership roles of the city “about the future of the spring holiday season.”

“And allow me to be clear, you should not expect our law agents not to assume an event that no longer aligns with the values or vision of this community,” he said. “It is unfair to place that weight on the back of the men and women who serve and protect this city every day.”
In the position, Talamanz grateful those who visited the city and did not cause problems.
“For future doctors, nurses, engineers, teachers and leaders who came here for a break, you are appreciated,” he said. “You made memories, enjoyed the beach and showed respect. Most of you are used at home without problems, and so it is as it should be.”

He had severe words for joy, thought.
“If you come with weapons, bad intentions and without respect for this city, we saw you. Although you could mix and get yours,” he said. “You were wrong. Our officers were ready, and many of you finished handcuffs.
“Some of you fired on minor arguments and drama from social networks. And when the fists continued, the difficult act disappeared. Our officers did not see hardened criminals. They saw scared children crying in the interview room. Tiktok does not do it, right?
The city has long been a hot point for university students who seek to take some sunshine in March and April, but also because of the problems that come along with thousands of visitors.

For several years, the Police Department has used several strategies to deter spring holiday crime.
In 2023, the Police deployed K-9 to combat drug use and relied on surveillance cameras in an attempt to keep the Juerguistas under control.
In 2022, the police arrested more than 160 people who cheated a spring vacation incident when Hededs destroyed a Walmart. They took 75 weapons of that case alone.
“The crowd that has been here this weekend, there are no words that can describe the way it behaved, was carried out and the number of laws that have violated,” Talamanz said at that time.
