Crime Prevention Tip of the Day: Spring Break is quickly approaching and there are planned activities that will stagger the average person. Most of the staggering will occur at the beach parties, concerts, and yes, more beach parties. In years past we have showcased how busy many of the law enforcement agencies will be during the next few weeks. Other agencies will eclipse the number of calls received by the police. Local Fire Departments and EMS services will be receiving a number of emergency calls for alcohol poisoning. Many of the reported student deaths during spring break have been attributed to alcohol and DWIs. Take a minute to recognize the signs of alcohol poisoning. Come back with a Spring Break story for your friends, not a confession for your parents.
