Bail Bonds in Miami Gardens, Florida

Miami Gardens PD to TGK

Miami Gardens is the third-largest city in Miami-Dade County with its own police department (MGPD) established in 2007. MGPD handles all arrests within city limits, and all defendants transport to TGK for booking. The city encompasses a large area of northwest Miami-Dade, including the Hard Rock Stadium area.

Hard Rock Stadium Events

Hard Rock Stadium hosts Miami Dolphins games, the Miami Open tennis tournament, Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix, and major concerts. Event days generate concentrated arrest volumes for DUI, scalping, trespassing, and drug possession in the stadium vicinity. MGPD and MDPD increase patrols for major events. Stadium-area arrests by MGPD book at TGK. Note that the Seminole Hard Rock Casino in Hollywood is a different location in a different county (Broward), so do not confuse the two.

MGPD History and Growth

Miami Gardens Police Department was established in 2007, making it one of the newer police forces in Miami-Dade County. The department has grown rapidly to serve a city of over 110,000 residents. MGPD's main station at 1020 NW 163rd Drive handles initial arrest processing before transport to TGK. For arrest inquiries, call MGPD at (305) 474-6473.

NW 27th Avenue and US-441 Corridors

Traffic stops, drug interdiction, and DUI enforcement are concentrated along these routes. The Calder Race Course (now part of the Hard Rock complex) area also generates gambling-related and DUI arrests.
