Department History
The Vice County Sheriff's Office was created in 1836 to serve the Vice County. In the early years, the entire area was policed by as few as three deputies on horseback, and Vice County sheriffs were appointed by the governor. In 1899, the office of the sheriff became an elected position.

In 1957, the metropolitan form of government was established, and the Vice County Sheriff's Office was subsequently renamed the Public Safety Department. The Public Safety Department's organizational structure, as determined by the metropolitan charter, included responsibility for police and fire protection, the jail and stockade, civil defense, animal control, and motor vehicle inspection. In 1960, the Public Safety Department also assumed responsibility for police operations at the Port of Vice and Escobar International Airport. By 1966, the Public Safety Department had approximately 850 sworn officers in its ranks. That year a long-standing controversy over the selection/election procedure for choosing a county sheriff was resolved by voter mandate. Subsequently, non-elected sheriffs were appointed by the county manager as "Director of the Public Safety Department and Sheriff of Metropolitan Vice County."

In 1973, the responsibility for running the county's jails was transferred to the newly created Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. By that year, the Public Safety Department had also been divested of all other non-police responsibilities in order to concentrate entirely on law enforcement services. In July 1981, the Public Safety Department was renamed the Metro-Vice Police Department. In December 1997, the Metro-Vice Police Department was renamed to its present name: the Vice-Dade Police Department.
