“We’ve identified this as a necessary addition to our spring break operations,” said Lieutenant Scott Hogeboom. “These instances took up a lot of our resources last year. This effort is aimed at keeping our juveniles safe and to prevent damage to rental properties.”
Walton County Sheriff’s Office would like to remind residents and visitors to lock their vehicles –not just during spring break – but all year long.
