MIAMI BEACH, FLA. (WSVN) - The Miami Beach Police Department stepped in for their fallen brother, Sgt. Larry Marrero, by escorting his teenage daughter Demi to school for her first day of 8th grade, Monday.

Marrero passed away following a medical emergency at the station last year, leaving Demi without a father to help her navigate her last year of middle school.

Thankfully, his MBPD extended family made her first day back to school extra special by dropping her off in his place.
