Walton County Sheriff's Office
Facebook Report
Monday March 21 2022
Many of you have seen videos (specifically three of the same night and location) circulating on the news and on social media in regards to spring break in Walton County. The TODAY show also aired a story this morning and referenced the curfew put in place by Seaside strategically sandwiched between two instances of shootings from around the state, which we have not experienced here in our county.
You have concerns, questions, and suggestions as to how you'd like your public safety and law enforcement agency to address spring break and we hear you - we are listening.
Tonight, we plan to show you some of the things we've been doing to deter criminal activity and our efforts to mitigate serious tragedy and outcomes during these next few weeks.
We will be tweeting, Instagramming (we know that's not a word), and posting live on Facebook as our team works the areas of concern in the south end of our county. No lip service. We won't be talking about it. We will be doing it - showing you our deputies, what they are facing, and the hard work they are putting in.
Here are the numbers so far. They are continuing to climb as we add more and more resources to areas that pop up as "hot spots".
Totals for Spring Break:
Alcohol Possession Under 21 - 55
Beach Ordinance Violations - 40
Noise Loud Party – 24
Traffic Stops - 372
To give you an update on a case of criminal mischief we posted on March 15th. Those individuals have been identified and reside in Tennessee. Charges are pending.
We look forward to you hanging out with us and will do our best to answer any questions you have as we go. Thanks and we will see you tonight as we Tweet from the beat!
