In the months since Hurricane Katrina struck the Gulf Coast area in the vicinity of Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana, the Fort Walton Beach area has experienced an increase in transient populations.

The influx has brought with it an increase in gang and drug activity, prostitution, methamphetamine labs, and a general increase in petty crime. The Fort Walton Beach Police Department' s Patrol Divisions have primary responsibility for investigation and suppression of the above described crimes and activities. They are assisted by the Investigations Division, responsible for follow- up investigations of the most serious of the above, and the Street Crimes Unit that conducts covert investigations of the illicit drug trade and vice crimes. In addition, the Community Policing Unit is tasked with devising long- range solutions to crime and quality of life issues, such as these.
