On March 2, 2024, Miami Beach Police Officer Fabio Bolanos was shot in the line of duty while responding to assist another Officer in subduing a violent subject. After being shot, Officer Bolanos bravely stayed in the fight, handcuffing the subject and advising that he had been shot via police radio. Officer Bolanos was rushed to the hospital in a police vehicle, as it was too risky waiting for Fire Rescue because he had lost a significant amount of blood. Fortunately, Officer Bolanos has since been released from the hospital and is recovering at home.
Officer Bolanos has a combined 18 years of Law Enforcement service split between the Town of Medley and the City of Miami Beach. Officer Bolanos is also a Veteran, having served his Country in the United States Coast Guard prior to serving the community as a Police Officer. He is a loving husband to his wife, Dorothy, and proud father to his two young boys.
Officer Bolanos is the sole provider for his family and we ask for assistance in helping him during this difficult time. Thank you for your time and God Bless.
