PCBPD held a join press conference Wednesday to remind spring breakers: We may have a real fun beach, but not a real fun jail.
PANAMA CITY BEACH, Fla. (WJHG/WECP) - Local law enforcement is describing the behavior they saw over spring break last year in Panama City Beach as “absolutely ridiculous”.
With March just a few weeks away, Panama City Beach Police held a joint press conference Wednesday to remind spring breakers that we may have a real fun beach, but we do not have a real fun jail. Multiple law enforcement agencies are going into the spring break season as a united front, utilizing every resource and putting a zero-tolerance policy on any and all criminal behavior.
“So, we’ve learned some lessons from last year. And we do have a lot of resources at our disposal. We’ve got a lot of resources we can call in,” Bay County Sheriff Tommy Ford said.
Spring breakers took Panama City Beach by storm in 2022, with red and blue lights flashing at every turn, chaotic crowds, and gunshots.
“Last year, guys we saw a lot of nonsense committed by a bunch of stupid people,” Panama City Beach Police Chief J.R. Talamantez said. “It’s not our first rodeo. We’ve been dealing with spring break for many, many years now. But I think last year, we said the loudest. We are not going to tolerate criminal behavior.”
With spring break quickly approaching, multiple law enforcement agencies are standing together with a firm stance.
