Miami Community Police Benevolent Association

Come celebrate with us, the 2nd oldest African American Police Officer Organization in America. 77 years of EXCELLENCE!!

Members, our Black History Month Celebration message was hijacked by people and systems with agendas. Our Black History Month car wrap and badge is about honoring our retired leaders, creating a funding source for the Black Police Precinct Courthouse and Museum and creating symbols of pride. It is not lost on us that policing started as slave patrols. We have become officers and have acquired nearly all positions within a law enforcement community that has been oppressive to African Americans; however, we stand in the gap between the communities we serve and law enforcement. We pridefully stand behind our car wrap and badge.

Members, tomorrow Thursday February 2nd at 2pm at the Black Precinct Courthouse and Mesuem, (480 NW 11 Street, the MCPBA), we will be unveiling our 1st ever Black History vehicle wrap and badge to celebrate Black History Month. This celebration will be in conjunction with the City of Miami. See you there!

Members, come celebrate with us the exciting unveiling of our 1st EVER Black History wrapped Vehicle and Badge. This is a moment in time for us to celebrate our history in law enforcement and that of the MCPBA, who was the sponsor of them both. It will be a day to remember.
