Officials for the City of Fort Lauderdale are preparing for another busy spring break season.<\/p>\n
\nA report<\/a> from Spirit Airlines lists Fort Lauderdale as the most-searched spring break destination this year.<\/p>\n \nMayor Dean Trantalis said in a recent press conference to expect increased police presence both on the beach and downtown.<\/p>\n \n“\u200aWe want them to understand that they’re coming to a place that’s safe and fun, and that they can trust that Fort Lauderdale is gonna take care of their kids when they get here and when they leave,” he said.<\/p>\n \nThe city has not enacted any new ordinances regarding spring break; however, the city recently repealed its open container policy<\/a> in downtown.<\/p>\n \nMeanwhile, Police Chief Bill Schultz said his department will have recruitment tents on the beach to entice college-age applicants.<\/p>\n \n“\u200aWe have a number of officers who actually work for our department right now who applied during spring break and came here because they enjoyed spring break,” he said.<\/p>\n \nThere will be a daily beach cleanup at 5:30 p.m. during spring break season.<\/p>\n
