Tallahassee, Fla. – The Florida Police Chiefs Association (FPCA) released the following statement today opposing passage of Constitutional Amendment 3 “Adult Use of Marijuana”. The statement may be attributed to FPCA president Chief Charles Vazquez, Tampa International Airport Police Department.
“The Florida Police Chiefs Association (FPCA) is composed of over 1,300 of Florida’s top law enforcement executives serving municipal police, airport, railroad and port authority police, college and university police, tribal police, and private business and security firms, as well as federal, state and county law enforcement agencies.”
“As we represent the highest levels of law enforcement leadership in Florida, we believe that passage of Constitutional Amendment 3 “Adult Use of Marijuana” – otherwise known as recreational marijuana – will hurt public safety and ultimately cost Floridians tax dollars and lives. Among these impacts will be the growth of illegal markets and criminal cartels, impaired driving and traffic fatalities, homelessness, and hospitalization as a result of marijuana use.”
