Miami Beach Police Department

Encyclopedia : M : MI : MIA : Miami Beach Police Department

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 shorts and 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 and faster response time. There are even some patrol officers in rollerskates. The Miami Beach Police wear black trousers with white shirts, and have red, white, and blue patrol vehicles.

The current Chief of the Department is Chief Donald De Lucca.
