Law enforcement to be out in force to ensure Happy St. Patrick's Day
FAR AS SPREADING. I WILL TIME OUT YOUR WEEKEND AS IT GETS CLOSE. IT IS FRIDAY NOW, SEE YOU IN A FEW MINUTES. IVAN, THANK YOU. SPRING BREAK IS IN FULL SWING IN SOUTH FLORIDA, WITH BEACHES PACKED. DESPITE THE COOLER WEATHER, YOU ARE LOOKING AT VIDEO SHOT BY OUR CHOPPER AND FORT LAUDERDALE THIS AFTERNOON. TOMORROW, WE ARE EXPECTING CROWDS, NOT JUST AT THE BEACH. THEY WILL BE INLAND AS WELL. THAT IS BECAUSE THIS YEAR, SAINT PATRICK’S DAY FALLS ON A FRIDAY. AT LEAST ONE OF THE EVENT’S ORGANIZERS SAY IT WILL COME TO AN END. BUT THEY
WILL ALSO BE OUT THERE TOMORROW, MAKING SURE EVERYONE IS ON THEIR BEST BEHAVIOR, AND EXPECT MORE THAN JUST OFFICERS. MORE ON TOMORROW ‘FESTIVITIES. SHAKING OFF THE PANDEMIC. JOHN MARTIN’S IRISH PUB PLANT THEIR FIRST STREET FESTIVAL IN YEARS. IT’S THREE DECADE HISTORY COATING PONCE DE LEON’S WITH PARTIERS HOPING TO DO IT AGAIN FOR MARCH MADNESS AND CURIOUS SPRING BREAKERS. WE ARE EXPECTING A SAFER EVENT AS WELL. FANTASTIC TO WORK WITH. OFF-DUTY POLICE, SECURITY. THEY PLAN TO BARRICADE INTERSECTIONS ON PATROL, SPECIFICALLY FOR DUIs. Reporter: ALSO WARY OF DRUNK DRIVING, THE CITY OF MIAMI POLICE DEPARTMENT. IT IS
ALL IN THE NAME OF SAFETY. OUR AREA COMMANDERS HAVE ALREADY DESIGNATED OFFICERS DAYS OFF AND THEIR HOURS, MAKE SURE WE HAVE THE PRESENT STRENGTH’S PEAK
