MIAMI – Will Smith and Martin Lawrence have patrolled the streets of Miami as police officers in the movies, but now the stars have some badges to back them up.
The Miami Police Department named Smith and Lawrence honorary officers Monday, as well as giving the stars of “Bad Boys” a key to the city.
“They’ve earned their police badges and are always welcome here in Miami,” the department tweeted.
