A Message from the Miami Metro Police Captain
Welcome to the Miami Metro Police Department. My name is Thomas Matthews and it is my honor to serve the public as the 19th Captain for Metropolitan Miami. The residents of Miami can rest assured that the officers of MMPD regard public safety and public service as their top priorities. The Department includes over 500 officers and unsworn personnel, all dedicated to the 400,000 Miami citizens.
Miami has grown immensely since its foundation in 1896, when it had a population of just 300. The Miami Metro Police Department was established in 1923, after a three year period in which Miami's population doubled. For the past 83 years, the department has protected and served the city with integrity. A great deal of our success has been largely due to the excellent line of communication between the helpful citizens of Miami and the Department. |
It is my pleasure to welcome you to the MMPD website, which has been put in place to maximize the historically effective line of communication between the department and the public. If you have trouble finding any information or feel that this site lacks informative materials, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Sincerely,
Sincerely,
Captain Thomas Matthews
