By Joel Waldman, CBS Miami September 4, 2021 Miami Beach officials are implementing measures ahead of the Labor Day holiday weekend to maintain order and deter crime. Those measures include adding 50 additional officers to patrol South Beach. "I know two guys who have been shot dead in the street since I've been here and they were very young kids, 24 or 25 years old," said one tourist. And, that's just in the last bunch of months, a frightening pattern of violence, and a big reason Miami Beach Police, along with at least a half dozen other agencies, are rolling deep this holiday weekend.
