A Wednesday morning march in Miami Gardens honored police officers who died in the line of duty.
Hundreds of people joined the march, which was organized by the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement.
The purpose was to unify communities and local authorities and to honor lives that have been lost.
“We never want to receive that call or deliver that information to someone’s family,” said Miami Gardens Police Chief Delma Noel-Pratt, according to a report by WSVN.
“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.”
The march included federal, state and county-level law enforcement officials.
