Our officers responded to a report of a fraudulent transaction at a local business. Through quick thinking and solid follow-up work, two suspects were identified using CCTV footage and located shortly after.
Because of the swift action of our officers, this case was solved and our community was kept safe from further harm.
We could not be prouder of the dedication our officers bring to every single call. Big or small, they show up.

This May, we honor the memory of Officer Leonard Claude Tribble, a fallen hero of the West Miami Police Department who lost his life in the line of duty on October 18, 1958, while escorting an ambulance to the hospital. As part of Project HERO, members of the department’s command staff pay tribute each year by placing a grave marker, the American flag, and the Thin Blue Line flag at his resting place. As taps are played and salutes are rendered, we remember Officer Tribble’s service, sacrifice, and lasting legacy in our community.
