Miramar Police Community Engagement
Our dedication to Serving Our Community is a top priority. When COVID struck, we transitioned to virtual engagements, such as our online Citizens’ Police Academy, to stay connected. We also participated in numerous drive-by events: from birthday to graduation celebrations; socially distant visits with seniors in our community; and helped in distributing boxes of food to those in need.
Earlier this year, we began to transition back to in-person events, with safety precautions still in place. We held a Coffee with a Cop meet-and-greet in April, as well as other events that have allowed us to engage with our community:

COMMUNITY & COPS
This year, we have held two Community & Cops events. A third is expected in July. Hosted by Commissioner Alexandria Davis, these events were held in numerous shopping plazas throughout the city and were a great opportunity for residents and business owners to meet officers, have productive
Miramar Police Community Engagement dialogue about current law enforcement trends, and discuss programs and services the police department offers. We also welcomed those interested in a career in law enforcement to stop by and learn more about employment opportunities.
RIDING THE BLOCK
What started out as a simple bike ride has now become a highly anticipated sequel. On May 15, 2021 the Miramar Police officers, alongside Miramar Mayor Wayne Messam, rode bicycles through the streets and plazas of Miramar to connect with the community. The ride began at Miramar Regional Park and continued to the Home Depot plaza on Dykes Road, then to the Huntington, Windsor Palms, and Monarch Lakes communities. The group drew lots of attention and support from motorists who cheered by blowing car horns and clapping. While riding through the neighborhoods, officers stopped to speak with residents who were outside washing cars, exercising, or gardening. Children got a chance to get a personal tour of police cars and learned how to activate the sirens. It was not long before the group grew, with additional residents picking up their own bicycles and riding along. Our next Riding the Block events will be held in central and Historic Miramar. ▸ The Miramar Police Department would like to thank everyone who has participated in all our community events.
We look forward to adding more opportunities to connect with you!
