Angel Calzadilla
Biography
Angel Calzadilla joined the City of Miami Police Department in 1988 and was assigned
to uniform patrol in the Little Havana's afternoon shift. During his 22 years of dedicated
service to the Miami Police Department, Angel performed honorably as a patrol officer
and sergeant, hostage negotiator, Public Information Officer, and Senior Executive
Assistant for two separate Chiefs of Police. He was the recipient of numerous awards
including Officer of the Month (eight times), Dade County Chiefs of Police Officer of the
Month (two times), Rotary Club's Officer of the Year (1998) and Gold Lifesaving Medal
(four times), among others.
Angel also created the Teddy Bear Patrol Project, which provided thousands of donated
teddy bears for officers to carry in their patrol cars and give to children in distress. He
made a difference in the lives of many who were fortunate enough to have met him.
It was with deep sadness and a profound sense of grief that the City of Miami Police
Department announced his passing on the morning of February 18th, 2011. He was 48
years of age. Although Angel's stay here on earth seems just a fleeting moment in time,
our loving memories of him as a husband, father, superb public servant, friend, mentor,
and cop's cop will live in our hearts and minds forever.
Angel is survived by his wife, daughter, parents, brother and a host of other family
members, Angel will remain in the hearts of his brothers and sisters in law enforcement
and a community who truly loved him as one of their own. He leaves an indelible void.
