59th Inaugural Ceremony

Wednesday, January 20, 2021. This inauguration will be a first on many levels and the challenges of a pandemic and political upheaval is definitely bound to put a damper on what is usually a beautiful event for all Americans. For the first time ever - a virtual inauguration.

Congratulations to our CGPD team taking part in today's monumental inauguration. Safety to all who will be protecting the president, his family and all others. As we thank our own, we thank the many other departments attending who will be working hand-in-hand to keep peace and tranquility.

2018 Coral Gables National Night Out

November 10, 2016 - Thanksgiving

Retiree, Harry Picketing recently ran into Bruce Richards' son "David", while he was working an off-duty detail. David said to say "hello" to all of his Dad's friends and his extended CGPD Police family, past and present. David started at MDPD in '87 and he is retiring in January. He's had a remarkable career at the County in Uniform Patrol, then Narcotics, and the majority of his career has been in CID in the Robbery Bureau. He has worked many years as a Robbery Detective, including RID, STOP, and his current assignment to the Fugitive Task Force. His son and daughter graduated from College last month. Bruce's grand daughter earned a full athletic scholarship and completed her Bachelors Degree while playing in NCAA Women's Basketball at Purdue University. She is enrolling in a graduate program at the U of M. When she graduates, Dave and his wife will relocate to the Melbourne area of Central Florida, where most of the family members and in-laws live.

Dave is a big man with a big heart, just like his Dad, and just shaking hands with him puts a smile on your face. Harry has his business card and contact info if anyone wants to reach out to him. He is also on Facebook as Dave Richards.

The Coral Gables Police Department shared with children, parents, neighbors and other community individuals at the Rock the Block event on March 2, 2016. Police, firefighers and Cime Watch were on hand to interact with everyone present. The F.O.P. made freshly-made popcorn which children and adults loved.

Coral Gables Bike Day took place on Sunday, February 28, 2016 from 11:00am to 3:00pm. The FOP provided popcorn for all children as well as coloring books and crayons.

Our heartfelt thanks to the many Coral Gables' citizens who came to thank us for what we do.

We were happy to once again sit beside the great leadies from Baptist. Thank you Officer Lago for helping us lift our equipment and for providing some muscle to put up and take down our tent.

The Coral Gables Fraternal Order of Police held its Annual Picnic on Saturday, February 27, 2016.

Thank you to all the FOP members who took the time to enjoy a little bit of brotherhood with us and who shared an unbelievably great meal.

We had a great turnout of retirees - it's always a pleasure to see you all there. And thank you to those who stayed behind to help us clean up. Officer K. Rodriguez thank you for all your help. Sgt. J. Hoff, thank you for taking on the task of transporting leftovers to our communications folks - hope they enjoyed.

At the Miami Police Department's Monthly Awards Ceremony (for the month of December), the band In Blue received a Community Service Award for all of the great work that they do. Our very own, Sergeant Tomas Salcedo is lead singer.
