Our department is an industry leader in professionalism. We have repeatedly been recognized with accreditation by CFA – The Commission for Florida Law Enforcement Accreditation and CALEA – The Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies. In 2017 we were awarded “Meritorious” accreditation which is the highest level of international accreditation possible, given only to those agencies that have shown an excellence in professionalism and quality assurance for more than 15 years. The Miramar Police Department has been continuously accredited since 1996. Being a good neighbor and a valued member of the community is one of our highest priorities.
