history

In 1937, a group of Dade County Chiefs formed a corporation, now known as the Miami Dade County Association of Chiefs of Police. The original 20 members set up their guidelines and recommendations for the positive furtherance of policing in Dade County.

Our Dade Chiefs' "founding fathers" had the foresight to set up the association in a manner that was fair and unbiased, with the intent of a long-lasting entity. While creating the bylaws of the organization, they realized to have a cohesive transformation of leadership a series of chairs was needed.
