As police officers and sergeants, you have a responsibility to lead by example and to train your…read moresubordinates to be law abiding professionals who enforce the law fairly and consistently. Every interaction with the public should reflect respect, discipline, and a commitment to upholding the principles that so many service members have fought and died to protect. A video currently circulating online raises serious concerns about conduct that appears inconsistent with these expectations. It shows behavior that comes across as lacking professionalism, discipline, and proper de-escalation, traits that are essential to effective and just policing. Freedom can be complex and, at times, challenging to navigate. However, it is precisely in those moments that restraint, training, and accountability matter most. Upholding the law is not only about enforcement, but also about maintaining public trust through integrity and respect for every citizen.

The City of Sunrise was founded in 1961 as Sunrise Golf Village by developer Norman Johnson who was…read morefrom Iowa. He brought prospective buyers to this city on the western edge of Broward County by building model homes. Johnson had originally considering using Sunset in the name but reconsidered for the more optimistic Sunrise which he planned to market to retirees. The new community became famous for its upside down house created by Johnson and F. E. Dykstra. The home was completely furnished, and the carport had an upside-down car. There were many news features about the house and a feature in Life magazine. Thousands were drawn to the attraction and many stayed to make their home in the new city. By 1967 the city had a population of 4,300 and was 1.75 square miles. The city eventually expanded westward out to the edge of the Everglades for a total of 18 square miles and changed its name to Sunrise in 1971. Today the city has a population of approximately 100,000 people. The Amerant Bank Arena previously known as the National Car Rental Center, Office Depot Center, BankAtlantic Center, BB&T Center, and FLA Live Arena opened in 1998. The arena is the home of the Florida Panthers and hosts concerts and other major events. In 1990 the first phase of Sawgrass Mills Mall opened. The mall now offers a large and diverse selection of stores and restaurants. In 2007 Ikea opened which enabled everyone to get their Swedish meatball fix and be able to purchase cheap put together furniture. While most people visit Sunrise for the arena and mall, there is much more to Sunrise if you dig a little deeper. For one thing the city has some amazing parks which include Welleby Park, Oscar Wind Park, Sawgrass Sanctuary, and Oak Hammock Park. The city's commitment to maintaining well-kept parks enhances the overall quality of life for residents. Cultural events can be enjoyed at the Sunrise Civic Center Theatre and Art Gallery. The city has a number of restaurants especially by the mall. \Whether you are craving traditional Floridian cuisine or international restaurants that offer a taste of global flavors, there's something to satisfy every palate. As the city grew, the residential areas were able to maintain a suburban charm, providing a pleasant contrast to the bustling commercial areas. The neighborhoods are well-planned, with clean streets and a sense of community that makes it an ideal place for families. Sunrise, Florida, is a destination for entertainment, recreation, and community living. With its diverse offerings and friendly atmosphere, Sunrise continues to shine bright in Broward County.

Simple requests, such as obtaining permits or accessing public records, become unnecessarily complicated due to poor organization and lack of communication.

For residents on the weekend the price was $75/hr. with a required $200 deposit you can get back after the event if all is well. This included round and rectangular tables and chairs. The capacity was 180 maximum. You have the option to pick between two rooms but the other room has a stage which was preferred but it was booked already. There is a different rate for nonresidents of $100/hr on weekends I believe. There is an orange panel that runs along the wall making it a bit difficult to mask in decoration but we managed to do so with long length table cloths and backdrops. There are bathrooms with multiple stalls for use but there is not a place to get dressed other than the bathroom. We were unable to return home due to setup cutting close to the start time of the party but we made the bathroom work and it was clean. There is also a full setup kitchen with ice. I don't believe you are able to cook in it but you can keep items warm. There are multiple entries to the room and venue. The parking was limited but we made it work. I was unable to get after setup video or pics of it without the party going on but I was able to find pictures and video on Instagram. The staff was very accommodating allowing us to view the venue before booking and access before the party to determine how we could setup. We were given more than enough tables and chairs. I was able to receive the dimensions of the room to help plan setup. Overall, this venue was a great choice for our budget and we really enjoyed the party. After cleaning we were able to receive our full deposit. If you're looking for a budget friendly place and live in the area this is a great option.

Lauderdale-by-the Sea is the cutest little beach town. The founding of the town begins it's history…read morein the 1920's during Florida's land boom years. Many wealthy northerners invested in land in sunny, warm Florida. This was the case here when Boston businessman and developer William F. Moran purchased Lauderdale-by-the-Sea from Henry S. Moody and John C. Gregory. Indiana investor and builder Melvin I. Anglin, who the Anglin Fishing Pier is named for, purchased the platted land from Moran with the intention of staring a new beach side town. The Hurricane of 1926 brought a halt to building but only a year later the town bounced back and Anglin became it's first mayor. Lauderdale-by- the- Sea was incorporated on November 30, 1927. During the Great Depression in 1933 the State of Florida revoked its charter but with the help off Glen Friedt Sr. who came to live in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea in 1938, the town was able to be reincorporated on November 30, 1947. Before Melvin Anglin and his wife Sarah passed away, they give the city the land for the town hall and a park to the west of it. Through its years of growth, one of the ways Lauderdale-by-the-Sea has kept its charm is by limiting the height of buildings. While a lot of beach towns allow tall buildings by the beach, Lauderdale-by-the-Sea incorporated a a building height limit into their charter in 1973. As a result the town has maintained a kind of quaint 1950's look with it's low mid-century modern architecture. Today a mere 6,000 people call Lauderdale-by-the-Sea home. The highlight of the town is the gorgeous beach and the town holds the title of being Florida's number one beach diving capital. There is a coral reef only 100 yards off the beach and the wreck of the SS Copenhagen, a 19th-century British steamship that sank in 1900 after striking a coral reef lies in 25 feet of water off the coast. People enjoy fishing off Anglin's Pier, paddle boarding, kayaking, diving, and snorkeling. El Prado Park is the area's most popular beachfront park. There are a lot of great places to eat off of Anglin's Square including a Mulligans beach House, Anglin's Beach Cafe, and Aruba Beach Cafe. On of my favorite restaurants in town is the Sea Watch located in a historic house on the beach. If you are a tourist there are boutique hotels and resorts steps from the beach. The town's official motto is "Relax...You're Here." That is exactly how I feel every time I come here, refreshed and relaxed. Whether you are a tourist or local you will love this Old Florida beach town.
