Time To Crywolf Hallandale Beach
City of Aventura Hosts Bike Event
City Starts An Innovative False Alarm Reduction Program
Promoting Safe Cycling & Community Engagement For Residents
Hallandale Beach has committed itself to smart policing with the innovative CryWolf Program
From Kids to Adults, riders of all ages are welcome
Hallandale Beach is certainly a quiet picturesque city, nestled along the Atlantic Ocean between Miami & Fort Lauderdale, but that doesn’t mean we are safe from crime. With crime comes the use of City resources to protect residents. In an effort to use resources more efficiently, a technological revolution is taking place within Law Enforcement circles. The City’s Police Department has embarked on an ambitious journey to tackle a pressing issue that has been taxing their resources and hampering their ability to Ensure Public Safety – False Alarm Calls. In 2022 alone, the City’s Officers were dispatched over 10,000 times to respond to alarms that turned out to be nothing more than False Alarms. However, with the implementation of the Hallandale Beach False Alarm Reduction Program, the City is setting a new course to minimize these unnecessary responses. The CryWolf Solution: Navigating Through False Alarms In a move that underscores Hallandale Beach’s commitment to smart policing, the Police Department has partnered with CryWolf, a Cutting-Edge Alarm Monitoring Program.

Take Part In The Arts Usher In The New Arts Season As A Volunteer There’s a magical excitement that fills the air as the curtains rise, the lights dim, and the stage comes to life with captivating performances. Imagine being part of this enchanting experience, not just as an observer, but as a vital participant. The Broward Center for the Performing Arts is offering you a chance to usher in the new arts season as a Volunteer Usher, extending a warm welcome to patrons and guiding them to their seats. With orientations scheduled for September, now is the time to immerse yourself in the world of the performing arts and become an integral part of this cultural tapestry. The Broward Center for the Performing Arts, nestled in the heart of Fort Lauderdale, stands as a beacon of artistic brilliance. Its allure is not just limited to the
stunning architecture and worldclass performances it hosts, but also the community that rallies behind its mission. And at the heart of this community are the dedicated Volunteer Ushers who play a pivotal role in making each visit to the center an unforgettable experience. A Tapestry Of Ushering The Volunteer Usher corps at the Broward Center is a dynamic and diverse group of individuals who share a common love for the arts. From high school students seeking to fulfill their community service hours to retirees looking to infuse their days with purpose, and families joining hands in service, this corps is a tapestry of passion and dedication. As a Volunteer Usher, you won’t just be showing patrons to their seats; you’ll be weaving connec-
tions, fostering camaraderie, and expanding your horizons through the kaleidoscope of performances that grace the stage. Imagine witnessing the magic of Broadway blockbusters, reveling in the talents of regional performance companies, and being spellbound by the biggest names in music, comedy, and dance. As a Volunteer Usher, you won’t just be a spectator; you’ll be an essential part of the audience’s journey. The joy of sharing these moments with fellow ushers and patrons alike creates bonds that extend far beyond the footlights.
