The Miami-Dade County Employee Service Award Presentation held on April 3, 2025, recognized the dedication and contributions of several employees, with a special focus on Officer Nunez of the Miami-Dade Corrections Department.

The meeting highlighted Officer Nunez's passion for teaching and his commitment to mentoring others throughout his career.

Director Shariah Green, representing the Miami-Dade Corrections family, expressed gratitude for Officer Nunez's service and wished him success in his new journey. There was also a light-hearted attempt to persuade him to extend his career a bit longer, reflecting the respect and camaraderie he has built within the department.

The meeting underscored the value of public service and the dedication of employees like Officer Nunez, whose contributions often go unnoticed. The recognition of such individuals serves to highlight the essential roles they play in the community.
