South Miami names future police headquarters for Assistant Chief Larry Corbin
Summary
The City Commission unanimously approved placing Assistant Chief Larry Corbin's name on the future South Miami Police Department headquarters, citing four decades of service, mentorship and a City proclamation; Chief Corbin and family were recognized.
The South Miami City Commission on May 19 adopted a resolution to name the future South Miami Police Department headquarters in honor of Assistant Chief Larry Corbin.
Chief Hatfield introduced the item, describing Corbin's career with the department that began in 1987, his mentorship of colleagues and more than 200 commendations and awards. Multiple commissioners and a visiting mayor from another jurisdiction praised Corbin's contributions. The commission presented a commemorative brick and invited Chief Corbin and his family to the dais; Corbin said the recognition was humbling and reflected a career spent serving the community.
The motion to approve the naming was made and seconded on the floor and passed in roll call. Commissioners spoke of Corbin's quiet leadership and his role during departmental transitions. The commission also noted Corbin's upcoming induction into the Florida Department of Law Enforcement Hall of Fame.
The item was treated as ceremonial and carries no direct fiscal commitment beyond the usual project naming and plaque placement work tied to the forthcoming headquarters project.
