News & Events
The Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office Agricultural Patrol Section has significantly reduced produce theft and horse slaughter crimes, cutting incidents in half since 2023 through targeted investigations. Their efforts disrupted organized criminal networks and earned recognition for key detectives involved in the operation.
A Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office deputy was critically injured after being struck by a DUI driver on the Florida Turnpike, but body camera footage shows he likely saved another officer’s life moments before impact. After multiple surgeries and months of rehabilitation, the deputy was honored for his bravery and recognized for his ongoing commitment to helping others.
The Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office secured $5.25 million in federal funding to enhance security operations for a series of major global events scheduled for 2026. The investment supports advanced equipment, mobile command centers and coordinated strategies to ensure public safety during high-profile gatherings.
The call came in just before 10:37 a.m. as students at Christopher Columbus High School — and at the nearby St. Brendan Elementary and High School—were in class. What should have been an ordinary school day turned tense in an instant, as reports came in of a possible gunman on campus.
