“K9 Ace doesn’t want to retire. He’s threatening me.” Sgt. Kevin Carvajal gave Ace a chance to tell his side of the story. He might be regretting that now. 🐾😂

Behind the laughs is a career worth celebrating. Ace, a sable German Shepherd born on Christmas Day in 2016, partnered with Sgt. Carvajal in May 2018 and officially retired on October 12, 2026, after more than eight years of service with the Homestead Police Department.

Over those eight years, Ace helped with 18 apprehensions, went on countless deployments, and gave 116 K9 demonstrations at schools and community events. He also worked NASCAR events and made an appearance on Live PD.

Thank you for serving Homestead, Ace. Enjoy retirement. You’ve earned it. 💙

Parents, you’ve been warned! 👮🎃

If your little one is dressing as a cop this Halloween, we’ll see them at roll call. Pay is in candy, and the shift ends at bedtime. 🍬😂

🎃👻 Halloween is almost here, and we want everyone to have a fun and safe night!

Before heading out to trick-or-treat, remember to inspect candy before eating it, stay with your group, and never enter a stranger’s home or vehicle.

🚗 Drivers, slow down and stay alert! Keep an eye out for trick-or-treaters, especially near intersections and residential areas. Costumes can make pedestrians harder to see at night.

From all of us at the Homestead Police Department, have a happy and safe Halloween! 🎃🍬

Today, on National First Responders Day, we are proud to recognize Homestead Police Officer Carston Addison, who was honored by U.S. Senator Ashley Moody with a Florida’s Finest Award for his extraordinary courage and commitment to saving lives.

Officer Addison was recognized for his heroic actions while responding to a juvenile in distress. Without hesitation, he entered a retention pond to rescue the child, who was struggling to stay above water. After bringing the child safely to shore, Officer Addison continued to intervene when the juvenile began engaging in self-harming behavior, preventing further injury.

His quick thinking, bravery, and compassion exemplify the dedication our officers bring to protecting our community every day.

Congratulations, Officer Addison, on this well-deserved recognition! We are proud to have you as part of !

When seconds mattered, Officer Addison acted.
