Last night, on May 8, 2026, officers arrested 22 people between the ages of 12 and 21, as part of a teen takeover. The large group of teens attempted a takeover in the area of Curtis Hixon Park, causing significant disruptions, fights, and other issues in the park and surrounding areas. “This type of reckless and criminal behavior will not be tolerated in our city,” said Chief Lee Bercaw. “What began as a large gathering quickly escalated into disorder and activity that placed others at risk. Parents need to know where their children are and who they are with...we will continue taking strong enforcement action against anyone who threatens the peace and safety of our community."

Takeovers are a community issue, and they require a community response. We are urging parents, to step in. Know where your teens are, know who they’re with, and talk with them about making safe choices this summer. If you see signs of a takeover forming, whether online or in person, don’t ignore it. Report it by calling 813-231-6130. Teens, don't forget to join us this Friday at the NFL YET Center (3310 E Lake Ave) for "Takeover with a Purpose." The fun begins at 8:00 p.m., and ends at midnight. Hope to see you there!

If you plan on getting behind the wheel under the influence, you may find yourself "chilling" at the county jail. All month long, our DUI unit will be participating in high-visibility enforcement operations. Make the smart choice. Drive sober or get pulled over.
