Residents are sharing real-time sightings and warnings on neighborhood apps as officers check licenses and, in some cases, detain people, while officials have yet to explain the apparent enforcement surge.
   

• Mother and Child Hospitalized Following Domestic Incident in Davie, Suspect Identified (hoodline.com) — Police say a mother and child were hospitalized after a domestic violence incident inside a vehicle on Griffin Road in Davie, with officers quickly securing the area and confirming no ongoing threat to the public.

• New football districts would change landscape for some South Florida powerhouses (miamiherald.com) — High school football realignment would keep Davie’s Western High in Class 6A while reshuffling many other Miami-Dade and Broward powers into new districts and even new classifications.
