Miami Beach Police Department
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Miami Beach Police Department is the police department of the U.S. city of Miami Beach, Florida, patrolling the entire Miami Beach area, although they sometimes cooperate with the county-wide Miami-Dade Police Department. The Miami Beach Police are famous for their bicycle patrols, which wear black shorts and white short-sleeve uniform tops. The bicycle patrols were created due to the frequent traffic congestion of the Miami Beach isles (particularly in the famous Ocean Drive area on South Beach), and provide quicker police presence, faster response time, higher visibility, and more frequent public interaction. There are even some patrol officers in rollerskates. The Miami Beach Police wear black trousers with black shirts, and have red, white, and blue patrol vehicles.
The current Chief of the Department is Chief Donald De Lucca.
Miami Heat center Shaquille O'Neal is a reserve officer for the Miami Beach Police Department.
