Police Department

On May 21st, Somi Sommerset enjoyed a guided tour of the City of South Miami Police Station. The highlight of the visit was seeing the holding cells, which were particularly fascinating. The tour also showcased various police equipment on display, including bikes, a trike, an electric car, a police car, a shield, a battering ram, and SWAT gear such as a vest, helmet, and gas masks. It was an educational and memorable experience for all attendees.

We partnered with the Coral Gables Fire Department hosted Operation Phoenix, a large-scale active shooter response exercise including over 200 first responders, role players, university officials, and exercise staff. This prepares all aspects of first responders to prepare for any type of mass casualty incident.
