ONE GRADUATED.
BOTH WERE HONORED.
Yesterday was a proud day for the Miranda family and the Brockton Police Department (BPD), as Officer Raphael Miranda graduated from the Police Academy and both Miranda brothers were honored with the Executive Director's Award of Excellence.
Officer Raphael Miranda graduated from the Police Academy, officially beginning his career with BPD.
During the ceremony, academy officials surprised Officer Miranda and his brother, Brockton Police Detective Joe Miranda, with the Executive Director's Award of Excellence.
The brothers were recognized for their courage, professionalism, and actions during a critical off-duty incident last month, when they helped protect members of the public after gunfire erupted at a crowded graduation celebration.
As Officer Raphael Miranda begins his law enforcement career, he will now serve alongside his brother, continuing their shared commitment to protecting the City of Brockton.
Congratulations to Officer Raphael Miranda on his graduation, and to both Miranda brothers on this exceptional and well-deserved honor as they begin this next chapter together.
