💗 ONE OF OUR OWN NEEDS US. 💗

Officer Karla Torres answered the call to serve and protect the Coral Springs community. Today, she is facing a fight no one should have to face alone after being diagnosed with breast cancer.

As she focuses on treatment and recovery, the financial burden of medical expenses, medications, and everyday living continues to grow. Now it's our turn to stand behind one of our own.

Every donation—big or small—will help ease the financial stress so Officer Torres can focus on what matters most: healing.

If you're unable to donate, please share this post and keep Officer Torres and her family in your thoughts and prayers. Together, we can remind her that the law enforcement family and our community stand beside her every step of the way. 💙

This week for Public Safety Telecommunicators Week, the FOP was proud to take care of lunch and dinner for our dispatchers as a small way to say thank you for everything they do. They’re the calm in the chaos, the voice on the other end of every call, and the ones keeping our officers and community connected 24/7. We appreciate the long hours, the tough calls, and the dedication they bring every single day—today and every day, we’ve got your back. 💙

Multi-Agency Success: Plantation Officers Help Take Down Professional Burglary Ring 🚔🤝

We are proud to recognize Officer Ryan Duty, Det. Robert Hogg, and Det. Chavez Grant for their incredible work with the BAT (Burglary Apprehension Team) task force!

Working alongside the Broward Sheriff's Office - Weston District, our officers helped dismantle a highly sophisticated "South American Theft Group" (SATG) responsible for a string of high-value residential burglaries in the Windmill Ranch community.

The Highlights:

* High-Tech Tactics: The suspects used Wi-Fi jammers and even inflatable boats to bypass security and target jewelry and safes.

* Relentless Pursuit: After months of surveillance and DNA processing, the task force—in partnership with the FBI and HSI—identified the organized network.

* The Takedown: Following a New Year’s Eve arrest in Weston and a final apprehension in Indiana, six suspects are now in custody with no-bond and immigration holds.

This six-month investigation proves that jurisdictional lines won't stop us. Whether it’s across the county or across the country, we will pursue those who target our residents.

Great job to our officers and all the officers from Broward Sheriff's Office, Miami Police Department, Coral Springs Police, Whitestown Metropolitan Police Department, Zionsville Indiana Police Department, the FBI - Miami, and Department of Homeland Security who worked this case together. 👏
