SECURITY

PACA is committed to providing a safe and secure environment for its patrons and to compliance with state firearm laws and we observe and enforce Florida state law regarding firearms and other weapons on our premises. All persons and bags are subject to search prior to or upon entering the interior of our premises. PACA may use metal detecting hand wands or other devices at any event.

Guests are prohibited from bringing or possessing weapons into the Broward Center for the Performing Arts or on any portion of its premises (excluding locked private vehicles in parking areas). PACA does not provide weapons lockers and weapons may not be checked in with any staff or security personnel. 

FLORIDA LAW - FIREARMS ON OUR PREMISES

Florida law requires that a person with a concealed firearm who is licensed or otherwise authorized by Florida law to carry the concealed firearm must be permitted to show such license or authorization by presenting proof of identification and such license or authorization, for verification, to an on-duty law enforcement officer. Any patron (other than a qualified law enforcement officer) in possession of a firearm will be asked to return the item to his or her vehicle unless the patron is authorized by Florida law to carry a concealed firearm. Florida law does not authorize patrons (other than qualified law enforcement officers) to carry a firearm: (a) on the portions of PACA’s premises primarily devoted to consumption of alcohol; (b) at any school or college event on PACA’s premises not related to firearms; (c) at any school-sponsored event on PACA’s premises or portion of PACA’s premises operating as school property.
