Police Chief Mike Adkinson wants to crack down on sexual predators and illegal immigrants in DeFuniak Springs.

He has asked the City Council to draw up an ordinance to prohibit registered sexual predators from entering city parks or recreation areas.

He also wants the city to prohibit them from living within 2,000 feet of schools or day-care centers. State law now prohibits predators from living within 1,000 feet of those facilities.

In addition, Adkinson wants the City Council to adopt an ordinance to require any landlord renting a residence to four or more unrelated people to have a boarding license.
