Miami Beach is a popular spring break location for college kids, but it’s long been associated with violent crime. The final straw came from the video of street crowds jumping on cars, several assaults, and two fatal shootings over spring break last year.  ,
Miami Beach Mayor Steven Meiner, a personal- described independent, announced back of spring break 2024 that the town was implementing new regulations to keep the peace and protect citizens. Among them: a 6 p. m. close for shore doors, earlier layoffs for liquor shops, case investigations, and DUI gates.
Additionally, Miami Beach significantly increased its police presence. The changes were made known in an advertising campaign that made it clear that the city was “breaking up” with spring breakers.  ,

The new regulations for Miami Beach speak for themselves.  ,
In March, there were no shootings related to spring break, arrests fell by 8 %, and gun seizures fell below 70 after police seized over 100 guns during spring break last year, the Miami Herald reported.  ,
” This is the calmest spring break we’ve had in years”, Meiner told Fox News. ” A number of restaurants… are actually telling me thank you—that these measures have helped them ,]that ] it’s kept things safer, calmer, and that they’re actually busier”.
