Ocean City Police preparing for College Beach Weekend

Police are telling residents and visitors to expect an unauthorized event that will bring college-aged visitors to Ocean City on July 21-23.

Police say like many other events in the town, both sanctioned and unsanctioned, the department has been planning and preparing for this event and any incidents that may happen.

Chief Ross Buzzuro says, "We historically see college-aged visitors throughout the months of May and June, With the expectation that this event will bring an influx of young adults, residents and visitors can anticipate increased enforcement and high visibility."

Police say business owners should staff for this event and employees should anticipate a busy July weekend. Residents are encouraged, as always, to tell officials about any ordinance violations, such as sleeping in cars and noise.

Chief Buzzuro says "We will continue to work with the business community and our residents as the event approaches. We're optimistic that the majority of people that are planning to come to Ocean City throughout the summer months are here to enjoy the beach and everything our town has to offer."
