Today marks the solemn anniversary of a day that will forever remain in the hearts of the Hialeah Police Department. On November 6, 1986, we lost one of our own—Officer Emilio Miyares, a brave soul who dedicated his life to protecting our community. Emilio served with unmatched courage, embodying the spirit of commitment and selflessness that defines the very best among us.

Emilio was not just an officer; he was a husband, a father, and a friend. He loved his job, and he loved this community, and he gave his all for the safety of others. His legacy lives on in every officer who proudly wears the badge, every family member who supports them, and every resident whose life he touched through his service.

To his family, know that we stand beside you in remembrance. We honor Emilio's sacrifice, and we will never forget. His memory inspires us to continue the mission he so deeply believed in, and today, we recommit ourselves to the values he stood for: courage, integrity, and service.

We will always remember Emilio Miyares. He may be gone, but he will never be forgotten.
