DOTHAN: On Friday evening Dothan Police Chief Will Benny had Dothan Police Officers out in force on the streets.
In a strong enforcement action on the streets of Dothan, under the leadership of Dothan Police Patrol Captain Thomas Davis, the Dothan Police Patrol Division, while operating within the confines of the law and with respect to everyone’s right’s, had a very aggressive enforcement night.
Under the words of Retired Jackson County Florida Sheriff Lou Roberts, Jackson County had more problems and issues with the north/south corridor ( Highway 231 ) than the east/west corridor ( I-10 ). Spring break is beginning across the country so a lot of travelers through Dothan. The Panama City Beach Police Chief has announced zero tolerance. However, the Panama City Beach Police Chief has bashed Dothan residents. Well, Panama City Beach Police Chief, Dothan Police arrested one of your Panama City residents so keep them out of Dothan!!!
Dothan Police Chief Will Benny is just doing his job as the leader of Dothan Police Department. And he refuses to allow the streets of Dothan to get out of control.
In the aggressive enforcement action, the arrests for Dothan Police Department was 10 pages long this morning. The Dothan Police Patrol Division took numerous guns off the street and drugs off the street.
One Dothan Officer was assaulted by an offender that was being arrested. The officer was not seriously injured.
Dothan Police Patrol and Captain Davis did a great job.

The Daleville Department of Public Safety is warning residents about a scam circulating in the area involving the payment platform Cash App.
According to officials, victims have reported receiving automated phone calls claiming there is an attempt to access their Cash App account. The recording instructs recipients to press “1” if they did not authorize the activity.
The caller then directs victims to enter a verification code sent by text message and ultimately asks for their Cash App PIN.
Authorities stress that Cash App will never call users to request their PIN. The company does not have access to users’ PIN numbers and does not require them to use the app.
Officials say if you receive a call asking for your Cash App PIN from someone claiming to represent the company, it is a scam. Residents are urged not to respond to prompts and to hang up immediately.
Legitimate communication from Cash App will come from an official 1-800 number.
Anyone who believes they may have fallen victim to this scam should contact local law enforcement immediately.
