MIAMI GARDENS, FLA. (WSVN) - A march held in Miami Gardens Wednesday morning honored police officers who died in the line of duty.
Hundreds of people joined the annual march, which was organized by the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement.
“We never want to receive that call or deliver that information to someone’s family,” said Miami Gardens Police Chief Delma Noel-Pratt, “so it will be an emotional time but also it’s a proud time because you know that they died and that they’re honored on behalf of whatever department that they’re representing.”
This year, members took the time to emphasize unity between law enforcement and communities and to honor those who lost their lives.
“Together we stand. It doesn’t matter the color of the uniform. We’re all one. We work together in collaboration on many different levels,” Noel-Pratt said.
“We find it necessary that we let our community know that we, as black law enforcement leaders, we stand in the gap to try to prevent these senseless deaths,” said Clarence E. Cox III, President of N.O.B.L.E.
The march represented more than 3,000 international members at the federal, state and county levels.
