In Jacksonville's Riverside area, local businesses are funding off-duty police officers for weekend security due to concerns over public drinking, fights, and illegal activities. The Jacksonville City Council is considering legislation to match $10,000 in funding to support this initiative for two additional months, focusing on the hours from 11 p.m. to 3 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. The safety measures come in response to a rise in crime reports, including aggravated assault and burglary. Local officials and business owners believe that the increased police presence has effectively mitigated safety issues, with one business owner noting improved conditions since the initiative began. Meanwhile, in Huntington Beach, city officials are contemplating enhanced security measures at council meetings due to safety concerns expressed by constituents amidst heated discussions and the presence of weapons. Residents are advocating for more proactive security measures in public spaces to ensure safety and comfort during civic engagement.
