Spring Break 2018

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT

March 7, 2018

“Flagler County Schools’ Spring Break 2018”

Spring Break 2018 for Flagler County School students begins Friday, March 9^th, and runs through Sunday, March 18^th. This year’s Spring Break will coincide with Daytona’s 77^th Bike Week. The Flagler Beach Police Department anticipates heavier than usual crowds at our Beach, on our roadways, and at our businesses during this busy week.

In an effort to provide a safe environment during the event for our residents and visitors, the Flagler Beach Police Department has requested, and will be receiving, additional Law Enforcement resources from the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office.

According to Chief Matt Doughney, “Last year these two (2) events coincided and the additional presence of uniformed Law Enforcement Officers on motorcycles, bicycles and ATV’s in the core area of the City worked extremely well. Bikers & Breakers had a great time. Sheriff Staly has again graciously agreed to provide additional Deputies to assist our Officers with this year’s event and his willingness and commitment to our agency is greatly appreciated.”

The goal for the additional Law Enforcement presence is to once again provide a safe environment for residents, visitors and business owners alike. Doughney continued. “Flagler Beach encourages visitors to enjoy all that our City has to offer, and asks that you respect our City Ordinances and State Laws”. Doughney concluded, “Our City has many unique shops and restaurants, as well as an iconic Pier and six (6) miles of scenic beaches. We simply ask that you respect our City, have a great time and act accordingly.”

Officers and Deputies will focus their combined efforts on the expeditious movement of traffic in and around the downtown core area, specifically State Routes 100 and A1A. In addition to traffic management throughout the week, Law Enforcement Officers will be patrolling the downtown area and Beach on ATV’s, bicycles, motorcycles and foot patrol. Law Enforcement’s areas of concern for the event are underage drinking, littering, illegal parking, and physical disturbances that tend to be caused by and/or associated with underage drinking or narcotics usage.

If you have any questions regarding this year’s Spring Break event, please feel free to contact Chief Doughney at (386) 517-2020.

Please do not attempt to utilize closed Beach Access/Dune Crossover locations. Closed locations have clearly visible yellow “Caution” tape and wooden boards blocking access. These locations have been deemed unstable and have hereby been closed for public safety.
Please utilize caution when accessing the Beach at the above locations, as there may be a varied distance between the last step of the Beach Access Points and the sand.

“I’m extremely proud of the resiliency or our community after two (2) hurricanes in eleven (11) months, and as a City, the re-opening of access points to our beach has been and will continue to be a priority” said City Manager, Larry Newsom.

All repairs will be temporary and with future funds awarded from FEMA the replacement of new Beach Access Points damaged during Hurricanes Matthew & Irma will be built to meet new building codes.

Doughnuts with Doughney

Flagler Beach Police Chief and 7-ELEVEN host “Doughnuts with Doughney”

The Flagler Beach Police Department and our local 7-ELEVEN store have partnered to host “Doughnuts with Doughney” on Friday, March 2nd, 2018 from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. The Flagler Beach 7-ELEVEN convenience store is located at 408 South Oceanshore Boulevard.

“Doughnuts with Doughney” is similar to “Coffee with a Cop” in that it provides the public an opportunity to meet and speak openly with Chief Doughney about issues and/or concerns in Flagler Beach. The location of the meeting provides citizens easy access to both the 7-ELEVEN and Chief Doughney, in a relaxed, non-threatening atmosphere.

“We’ve got two (2) major events, Bike Week and Spring Break, that will occur during the same week in March and we’d like to hear about any concerns that our citizens may have in advance of these events.” Doughney said.

According to the Police Chief, the upcoming “Doughnut” event will coincide with the “First Friday” event in March and the times were changed (from morning to evening) to accommodate those that couldn’t make previous morning events”.

Doughney concluded by stating “Our local 7-11 owner, Mr. Eric Cooley, helped create the “Doughnut” event concept and working with him is a pleasure. The “Doughnut” events are free, fun and interactive for all and I continue to look forward to them each and every time”.

Should you have any questions or need additional information, please contact Chief Doughney at (386) 517-2024.
