Deputies are on scene of a traffic crash in the 4900 block of SW 90th Avenue.

Southbound SW 90th Avenue from SW 49th Street is currently blocked.

Please avoid the area and use an alternate route.

Stranger danger didn’t disappear; it just went digital.

Online safety starts with awareness.

Hope for sunshine. Prepare for storms.

Hurricane season is officially here—and the time to prepare is NOW. Build your emergency kit, review evacuation plans, secure important documents, and make a plan for pets.

When a storm is coming, it’s already too late to start planning.

👜 Keep valuables out of sight and personal information secure
📍 Stay aware of your surroundings in unfamiliar places
📱 Share your itinerary with a trusted friend or family member
🚸 If traveling with children, plan ahead for supervision and safety stops

Safe travels start with smart planning. Wherever summer takes you, make safety part of the journey!

Today, members of the Broward Sheriff’s Office Cooper City District were proud to support the Special Olympics field day at Cooper City Elementary School.

Students, athletes, volunteers, and community partners came together for a day focused on inclusion, teamwork, and fun. Deputies had the opportunity to interact with participants, cheer them on, and help create memorable experiences both on and off the field.

From friendly conversations and frozen treats to celebrating the accomplishments of every athlete, the event highlighted the importance of building connections and fostering an environment where everyone can succeed.
