In October, the Surfside Police Department conducted a series of hands-on trainings for officers and support staff, reinforcing its commitment to public safety and preparedness.
The sessions included instruction in first aid, CPR, “Stop the Bleed,” and Narcan administration—skills essential for responding swiftly and effectively during emergencies. In addition, officers participated in active assailant response training designed to prepare them for high-risk scenarios they may face while on patrol.
The department partnered with The Shul of Bal Harbour to host the active assailant drills, which included participation from The Shul’s security team. The City of Miami Beach Police Department also assisted by providing experienced instructors and realistic training scenarios.
“These trainings are vital to maintaining the highest level of readiness,” said Chief of Police Charles Press. “By working alongside our community partners and neighboring agencies, we ensure our officers are fully prepared to protect and serve the Town of Surfside.”
The department extends its appreciation to The Shul of Bal Harbour and the City of Miami Beach Police Department for their collaboration and continued support.
