MIAMI SPRINGS, Fla. — If you live in Miami Springs, you may have noticed some increased police presence Wednesday.
Miami Springs police confirmed to Local 10 News that after receiving an uptick in complaints about people parking in a disabled parking spot without a proper placard, they decided to launch a concentrated effort through 5 p.m., utilizing public service aids and motorcycle officers.
A local business owner told Local 10 News that police are often there enforcing proper compliance with handicap parking.
Police confirm they are often there to make sure people are following the rules. On Wednesday afternoon, a spokesman for the police department said they had issued more than two dozen citations citywide.
Just last month, the Homestead Police Department also cracked down on drivers parking illegally in disabled spaces.
Back in January, Miami Springs police posted a message on social media to the public, saying they want “motorists to do better in 2026 as they step up parking abuse at Handicap Parking spaces.”
