MIAMI (WSVN) - City of Miami Police celebrated Black History Month with a community event that featured the screening of a documentary about the city’s first African-American chief of police.
Festivities at the Miami Police Department were in full swing Friday with a live band, food trucks and more.
The agency held an exclusive screening of a documentary chronicling the rise of Clarence Dickson.
“It’s actually a documentary that tells about his entire life, from when he was a young youth, all the way until he became an officer with the City of Miami, to a sergeant, lieutenant and then ultimately becoming the chief,” said Miami Police Sgt. Shanetta Green.
A mobile museum was also set up to highlight significant events in the history of black men and women in law enforcement.
