MIAMI-DADE ( July 17, 2025 )–

From June 4, 2025, to August 15, 2025, the Miami-Dade Sheriff's Office (MDSO) will commence Operation Safe Summer throughout Miami-Dade County. This proactive initiative will take approximately 10 weeks to curtail criminal activities and improve quality of life for our citizens.

As summer kicks off and kids and teens spend more time outside; public safety is our top priority. Deputies will be out across the county, in uniform and plainclothes, focusing on high-visible patrols and smart enforcement to protect where we live, work, and play.

Deputies will be conducting high visibility details such as park details, community outreach events, bike patrols, traffic and parking enforcement, DUI details, and other crime prevention initiatives.

UPDATE #1:

Operation Safe Summer has been in effect for approximately 6 weeks and has yielded the following results so far:

Arrests
