Hialeah police announced that they will launch “Operation Blue Blanket,” an initiative to keep people safer during the holidays.
As part of the operation, 25 extra police officers will be on duty during the holiday season. It will include patrol officers, K-9 officers, community response teams, motorcycle officers, bike patrol officers and undercover officers, Hialeah Police said.
The safety campaign will begin earlier this year and it will be implemented seven days a week into the New Year’s holiday.
The extra officers will be mainly concentrated in shopping and residential areas, police said.
