Coral Springs proclaims Daniel J. Agami Day and recognizes Human Trafficking Awareness Day
Summary
At its Jan. 7 meeting the Coral Springs commission presented a proclamation establishing Jan. 7 as Daniel J. Agami Day and adopted a proclamation for National Human Trafficking Awareness Day; family members and the police chief addressed the commission.
The Coral Springs City Commission opened its Jan. 7 meeting with two proclamations honoring a local fallen soldier and raising awareness of human trafficking.
The commission proclaimed Jan. 7, 2026, as Daniel J. Agami Day to honor United States Army Specialist Daniel J. Agami, who grew up in the area and was killed in Iraq in 2007. The proclamation summarized Agami’s biography, military awards and the recent dedication of the Daniel J. Agami Bridge over Sample Road. A family member accepted the proclamation and thanked the commission and state representatives for the recognition, saying the designation and bridge dedication will help keep Agami’s memory alive.
Later the commission presented a proclamation for National Human Trafficking Awareness Day. The Police Chief (AJ) described trafficking as a highly profitable transnational crime that disproportionately affects minors and thanked the Special Victims Unit and partner agencies, including the Broward Sheriff’s Office, the FBI and Homeland Security Investigations, for interagency work. In the meeting the chief cited recent national estimates and thanked city staff for progress toward employee training on trafficking awareness.
The proclamations were ceremonial; the commission used the opportunities to highlight community partnerships and resources and to recognize local staff and volunteers working on both remembrance and victim-support efforts. The city encouraged residents to consult local resources and partner agencies if they suspect trafficking or need support.
