Police Department

South Miami PD Communication Team Now Fully Staffed and Ready to Serve

The South Miami Police Department is proud to announce that our Communications Team is now fully staffed. We're excited to introduce our new hires, Danissa Vickery, Janissa Vickery, and Amaría Evans, who are currently in training and eager to contribute to our mission of ensuring public safety. With our team complete, we are better equipped than ever to provide prompt and effective communication services to our residents.

Patrol DUI Checkpoint: Safeguarding Our Community

This holiday weekend, Chief Hatfield and our South Miami Police Department in conjunction with multiple police agencies, took a significant step in enhancing community safety by conducting a DUI checkpoint—the first in over a decade. This proactive effort is part of our continuous commitment to safeguarding our residents and visitors. The checkpoint proved effective, leading to 1 DUI arrest, 11 traffic PTA arrests, 2 traffic arrests, 1 misdemeanor arrest, and the issuance of 237 traffic citations.


DUI checkpoints are a critical tool in our public safety strategy, serving as both a deterrent and an enforcement mechanism against impaired driving and other traffic violations. By removing dangerous drivers from our roads, we actively reduce the risk of accidents and ensure that our streets remain safe for everyone. This operation underscores our dedication to maintaining a high quality of life in South Miami, and we will continue to deploy such measures to protect our community.
