MIAMI — Gov. Ron DeSantis is sending dozens of Florida Highway Patrol troopers to Miami Beach to re-enforce local officers patrolling spring break crowds. 'Florida is a law-and-order state. As part of Governor DeSantis's priority to protect Floridians and keep our communities safe, FHP is ready and prepared to act,' said Dave Kerner, executive director of Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles. Late Friday afternoon, the announcement of the governor partnering with the City of Miami Beach and Miami-Dade County officials to send more than 60 troopers to Ocean Drive and surrounding streets was made, a FLHSMV release said.
