MIAMI SPRINGS, Fla. \u2014 If you live in Miami Springs, you may have noticed some increased police presence Wednesday. <\/p>\n

Miami Springs police confirmed to Local 10 News that after receiving an uptick in complaints about people parking in a disabled parking spot without a proper placard, they decided to launch a concentrated effort through 5 p.m., utilizing public service aids and motorcycle officers. <\/p>\n

A local business owner told Local 10 News that police are often there enforcing proper compliance with handicap parking.<\/p>\n

Police confirm they are often there to make sure people are following the rules. On Wednesday afternoon, a spokesman for the police department said they had issued more than two dozen citations citywide. <\/p>\n

Just last month, the Homestead Police Department also cracked down on drivers parking illegally in disabled spaces.<\/a><\/p>\n

Back in January, Miami Springs police posted a message on social media to the public, saying they want \u201cmotorists to do better in 2026 as they step up parking abuse at Handicap Parking spaces.\u201d<\/p>\n
