Longwood Police Department officers are excited about a new initiative to engage our youngest citizens in the City of Longwood. The program called Bus Stop Buddies encourages officers to step out at bus stops to build positive rapport with the students. From a crime prevention standpoint we also know it is a great time to talk to the kids about safety issues, bullying prevention and other crime prevention topics!

During the 2023 Legislative Session, Governor DeSantis proposed, and the Florida Legislature then passed the Moving Florida Forward Infrastructure Initiative. As part of the initiative, the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) identified a selection of critical needs on state-owned roadways. Additionally, FDOT identified previously approved projects with broad community support that only lacked funding to begin construction. Due to Florida’s sound fiscal health, $4 billion from the General Revenue Surplus has been dedicated to the Moving Florida Forward Infrastructure Initiative to advance construction on these projects around the state that will address congestion, improve safety, ensure the resiliency of our transportation network, and enhance Florida’s supply chain and economic growth.
