The Lord works in mysterious ways. While some people seem to be working overtime to undue and/or change our history, four Black women law enforcers are steadily making history by becoming the head of the police departments in their jurisdictions.

With the appointment of Stephanie Daniels as the interim director of the Miami-Dade Police Department (she was named interim director after Director Freddy Rameriz tragically shot himself during a domestic dispute), Chief Cherise Gause of North Miami, Chief Harvette Smith, of North Miami Beach, and Chief Delmar Noel-Pratt of Miami Gardens, Miami Dade County becomes the first county in the state of Florida to have four Black women serving top cops in their municipalities.
