North Bay Village Police Chief Carlos Noriega said the mission was an opportunity for training. They will be working shifts as long as 16 hours long.

“We are very proud,” Noriega said.

According to the U.S. Secret Service, there will be more than 25,000 law enforcement, military, and public safety partners contributing to the inauguration security efforts.

Other police departments in South Florida joining the law enforcement effort include Miami, Miami Beach, Miami-Dade County, Sweetwater, West Miami, and Coral Gables.
