Community Spotlight at Our May 28 Meeting!
We were honored to welcome Officer Steve Marlow of the Fort Walton Beach Police Department as our guest speaker this week. Officer Marlow delivered an eye‑opening and engaging discussion on local gang activity, breaking down how criminal groups in smaller rural communities operate very differently from those in major metropolitan areas. His insights helped our members better understand both the unique blessings of living in this area and the importance of staying aware and informed.
He also extended a warm invitation for our members — and the public — to stop by the Police Department and say hello to the team and to Milo, their long‑time and much‑loved service dog.
Officer Marlow fielded a ton of great questions and left us all with a deeper appreciation for the work our officers do every day to keep our community safe.
💙 Thank you, Officer Marlow, for your service, your time, and your commitment to protecting Fort Walton Beach.
💛 Exchange Club of the Emerald Coast — strengthening community through awareness, service, and connection.
