In Florence, the local retailers have been facing a surge in complaints directed towards individuals engaging in loitering, littering, and reckless driving within their parking lots. This concerning trend has prompted many retailers to take action by installing “No Loitering” signs in accordance with Alabama State Code 13A-7-4.1.
The implementation of these signs signifies a shift in enforcement protocols, as verbal warnings are no longer the standard procedure. Instead, individuals found violating these regulations may now face immediate arrest upon discovery by law enforcement.
The Florence Police Department has been actively responding to these complaints and working closely with retailers to address the issue. By cracking down on loitering, littering, and reckless driving, both the police department and local businesses aim to maintain a safe and orderly environment within the community.
As the new signage takes effect, it serves as a clear message that such behavior will not be tolerated in Florence’s retail establishments. The collaborative efforts between law enforcement and retailers underscore the importance of upholding community standards and promoting a positive shopping experience for all patrons.
