The Fort Walton Beach Police Department is organizing two community events in September aimed at promoting safety and fostering community relationships.

On Tuesday, September 17, the department will host its next Community Bike Ride starting at the Fort Walton Beach Landing Park. The event will begin with a free helmet fitting and giveaway at 5:30 p.m., followed by the ride at 6 p.m.

  • The bike route, which is approximately 3.5 miles long, will start and end at the FWB Landing.

Later in the month, on Wednesday, September 25, the police department will hold its “Walking Wednesday” event. This 0.9-mile community walk will start at 6 p.m. from the Bruner Middle School parking lot.

The Walking Wednesday event is designed to give residents an opportunity to meet with police officers, discuss community concerns, and address safety issues. The department views this as a chance to work together with the community to enhance neighborhood safety.

Both events reflect the police department’s efforts to engage with local residents in informal, active settings. By organizing these activities, the department aims to strengthen community bonds and promote open communication between law enforcement and the public.
