  1. Are you kidding me? Fort Walton Beach Police department is the single most corrupt and unethical police department I’ve ever encountered. I often see their officers speeding excessively down Hollywood Blvd. late at night with no headlights on. They prey on and target the homeless here in Fort Walton and they consistently violate moral and ethical police procedure. The officers that work for FWBPD are among the worst I’ve ever encountered and completely lack the moral and ethical integrity needed for them to uphold the position that’s been entrusted to them. The residents here in Fort Walton are completely aware of the predatory nature of these officers and know that this department will stop at nothing to make arrests and that they willingly and knowingly violate citizens rights on a regular basis. These officers can often be scene violating major traffic laws, speeding excessively, harassing those who are either poor or homeless or less fortunate, and taking justice into their own hands like some sort of vigilante police posse. These officers are extremely rude and belligerent when in contact and they will literally harass you out of town. They are known here for being extremely forceful and overwhelmingly confrontational when interacting with the community and seem to not be able to tolerate anyone being outside in the downtown Fort Walton Beach area. FWBPD should have be under investigation a long time ago or least under major scrutiny for the manner in which these officers conduct themselves on a daily basis. They are despicable human beings and there seems to be an ongoing spirit of police misconduct occuring within the department till this day. Simply put, they don’t give a fuck about anyone and they flaunt it proudly.
