Since Fourth of July fell on a Monday this year, thousands flocked to the resort to celebrate their liberty and the pursuit of happiness, resulting in a small spike in police activity.
From Friday, July 1 to Monday, July 4, the Ocean City Police Department recorded 2,588 service calls, up from last year’s holiday weekend. In 2015, 2,301 recorded service calls were made. However, that year, visitors did not enjoy a three-day weekend since Fourth of July fell on a Saturday.
Despite the longer weekend, 98 arrests were made between Friday and Monday, which was on par with the year before when 97 arrests were made.

It's so much fun walking shoulder to shoulder with thousands of people on the boardwalk,especially when it's 95 degrees outside.The herding instinct comes out in me.
And more EMS Calls.
