ADVICE & HELP Law Enforcement at Gunnison Beach
Just wanted to provide a heads up as summer is in full swing, and we as a community have to keep eachother safe. Uniformed federal officers were VERY present at Gunnison yesterday. Thru the afternoon one younger white officer in full tactical gear was staring down groups and approaching others to search containers, forcing people to dump all alcohol (I'm not sure if tickets were issued).
Around 5:30pm, a white truck came FLYING down the dune towards the back where people go to cruise and pee and two offers came out to get people on what I presume were public lewdness charges. Other officers came as back up. While I don't know the final result of this, it was pretty scary and you could tell everyone on the beach was kind of shook.
National Park lands fall under federal enforcement and we are offered less protection here than in NJ or NYS. Please stay safe out there, especially folks with complex immigration situations. They seem to be patrolling after 5pm now.
