Daytona Beach police hope to increase presence beachside, along boardwalk

Daytona Beach businesses say they need more security urgently as safety concerns rise with homeless panhandling and confronting customers on their properties. City leaders are stepping in to help address the issue. The Daytona Beach Police Department is set to lease an office at the Hilton Beachfront Resort. Officers will be specifically assigned to patrol the boardwalk area and businesses along A1A beachside.
