Natalia Zea MIAMI (CBS4) ― Another milestone has been reached for the City of Miami Gardens as the city's new Police Chief, Matthew Boyd, swears in and administers the oath of office to more than 150 news officers Thursday evening at Dolphin Stadium.
"The establishment of the Miami Gardens Police Department is an excellent benchmark for this City, defining progress, ability, and foresight on the part our elected officials, administrators, and residents who supported the challenge to move forward with a municipal police department," said Mayor Shirley Gibson. "As a community we are moving in a desirable direction. Significant changes are taking place throughout the City, which over time will improve the quality of life for our residents."
In new black and white cruisers emblazoned with the slogan words "Miami Gardens Police, Building a Safer Community", Miami Gardens officers will assume control of their city from Miami Dade Police officers on December 16th, 2007.
"The Miami Gardens Police Department is an essential asset to this community and will certainly be a major contributing factor to helping us build a safer community," said Chief Boyd. "We want people to feel comfortable again in their neighborhoods by reducing crime and cleaning-up out streets."
Incorporated in 2003, the City of Miami Gardens was the 33rd city in Miami-Dade County. With a population of approximately 109-thousand, it is the third largest city in the county. It is the largest predominantly African-American municipality in the State of Florida and boasts many Caribbean residents.
In 2007, the City hosted the 41st annual Super Bowl and in 2010 has been named the host city for the 43rd Super Bowl.
