The City Council will discuss whether to name a location before asking residents to decide in March 2027, with potential sites including a Spanish River/I‑95 campus and a downtown station near Second Street and Second Avenue.
• Officer's Body Camera Was Not Activated in Fatal Boca Raton Police Shooting, Chief Says (bocapost.com) — Boca Raton's police chief has released a detailed video timeline of the 2024 fatal shooting of Morey Clemmons and confirmed the officer's body camera was not activated, which will be probed in an administrative review. The State Attorney deemed the shooting justified, but the department is now examining training, tactics, and policy while Pearl City residents and Clemmons' family closely watch for answers.
