Last year when school started, Titusville police spent months trying to get drivers to slow down in school zones. [RELATED: ‘Enough is enough:’ Speeders won’t slow down in school zones]This year, the problem is back. “Basically education and awareness for five straight weeks.”But Titusville police are also reinforcing good choices in school zones - like slow driving and seatbelt wearing. Every school zone in Titusville is staffed by officers every morning and every afternoon. Driving 20+ mph over the speed limit - so that’s just 35 mph in a school zone during school hours - carries at $459 fine.

The same night, Daytona Beach Police Chief Craig Capri publicly released the body camera footage showing the prospective from the officer who was shot. The body camera video calmed the community and the outcry from the suspects family in the latest example of body camera video exhonerating and justifying police officers actions, according to Capri. Weve had people making false complaints, the officer harassed me or said this, well lets look at the body camera video, Capri said. Body cameras make a difference, theyre a game-changer.Most large law enforcement agencies across Central Florida do have body cameras as do many of the smaller ones.

FLAGLER COUNTY, Fla. – Less than a day after the Flagler County Sheriff's Office's Intelligence Unit shared pictures of two suspected car thieves wanted for burglaries across Florida, patrol deputies had them in custody. The Patrol Unit and the Fugitive Unit, together, hunted down Jerrad Moore almost immediately after he was accused of pointing a shotgun at a woman and threatening to kill her. Flagler County Sheriff Rick Staly said the successes are because the units - patrol, fugitive, probation, courts, intelligence, and juvenile justice - all gather weekly at the Flagler County Emergency Operations Center and share suspects, trends, tips and leads. Staly calls the meeting “Crimemaps,” which stands for crime reduction, intelligence monitoring, employee managementand agency performance summary. Staly credits in part the Crimemaps meetings with the reduction in crime in Flagler County for a third straight year.
