November 3, 2023
Miami Lakes, FL – The Town of Miami Lakes is proud to announce the awarding of the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Funds from the Office of Criminal Justice and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE). These funds will be used to bolster the efforts of the Miami Lakes Police Department and provide critical resources to enhance community policing, promote public safety, and address traffic-related challenges.
The Town, identifying a need for officers to be able to patrol certain areas of our town only accessible by bike, applied for and was awarded JAG Funds that would aid in this mission.
