On social media, the Miami Beach Police Department (MBPD) made an exciting announcement to enhance their recruitment efforts by introducing a beautifully crafted Rolls Royce.
In the post, the police shared a video showcasing the luxury car equipped with lights and sirens, flanked by two officers on motorcycles."
This car was a tool added in an effort to attract law enforcement hopefuls.
The partnership with Braman Motors underscores a mutual commitment to excellence and community engagement.
The vehicle, a standout piece in the Braman Motors’ fleet, has been generously sponsored, covering all associated costs in compliance with the City of Miami Beach (CMB) Policy.
In the post, the Miami Beach Police said: “Recruiting police officers in this country today is a difficult thing to do. Using this car to help us do recruitment is gonna be great."
According to the Miami Beach Poloce, this collaboration with Braman Motors not only enhances their recruitment efforts but also connects us more closely with the community they protect.
It’s more than a recruitment tool; it’s a step forward in fostering strong community relations and upholding the spirit of trust and excellence in Miami Beach.

The car is on loan from Braman Motors and will eventually be returned. Braman will handle gas and maintenance, and the force will only be responsible if the car is damaged while in its care.
