It’s always great to start a new year. The Christmas Parade went very well and each year gets better. Fire District Chief gave us Engine 17 from Station 17. Captain Tarella gave two duties . All for safety. I also added three C.O.P. cars driven by some of our C.O.P. volunteers. We would like to get more of our residents to participate. Many of our volunteers live in Ocean Waterways. We’d like some of our northern friends here to join us.
CRIME REPORT: A crime was reported at Walmart on east Sheridan. When two deputies responded and looked at security recordings, they discovered the person committing the crime was also wanted for a bank robbery. Thru their individual investigations, they located that person in Hollywood and made the arrest on both charges.
Several weeks ago about 1,500 juveniles descended into Dania Point. A social alert was put out on social media. These young people came from all over the tri state area. BSO immediately put out a “TAP” alert which brings deputies from all over Broward County. They were able to shut down Dania Point to bring the situation under control.
9 Juveniles were arrested. 4 had guns, 2 were arrested for criminal trespassing, 1 was arrested for a concealed weapon not a gun and 2 were arrested for battery on a LEO (law enforcement officer). Now, BSO is having 15 deputies on duty there on the weekends and the owner of Dania Point (KIMCO) is paying for it.
FIRE RESCUE REPORT: DANIA BSO Fire Rescue had two successful toy drives. I always write this, but it remains to be true. Dania Beach Fire Rescue runs more calls than any other city in Broward County. There were 669 calls for service last month. 132 were fire related and 537 were EMS calls. With that, 212 safety inspections were conducted and 83 businesses were inspected.
The non emergency # is (954) 764-4357 as always, you can use 911. Keep in mind, they want you to call.
