At a glance: Medley September 2026 brought residents together with police at Community Night Out, while the Town and County outlined next steps for public services and fire protection.
Police meet the community
Medley Police Community Night Out took place Aug. 29 and was reported on Sept. 8. Families watched K-9 and mounted-unit demonstrations, enjoyed children’s activities, music, food and entertainment, and met officers outside of an emergency. Cuban singer Lenier Mesa made a surprise appearance. Events like this help make public safety feel personal and approachable.
Medley has its own Police Department. Fire and EMS are provided by Miami-Dade County. The County’s proposed FY2026–27 budget lists a planned, relocated Fire Rescue Station 83 East Medley at 8141 NW 80th Street. The plan describes a future station, not an operating facility today.
Schools, health care and town business
Town meeting materials in September began the FY2026–27 budget process. The first budget meeting was scheduled for Sept. 10. The Town’s school-year handbook lists before- and after-school care for eligible children, and its July Council agenda recognized 2026 graduates.
Regional hospital options include Hialeah Hospital, 651 E. 25th Street, and Palmetto General Hospital, 2001 W. 68th Street, in Hialeah, as well as Jackson West Medical Center, 2801 NW 79th Avenue, in Doral. Confirm services and directions directly with each facility.
Neighbors, officers and Friday night football
Medley’s Aug. 29 Community Night Out brought families face to face with police, including K-9 and mounted-unit demonstrations, as reported by Doral Family Journal. The Sept. 8 Council agenda also listed officer recognition and a presentation on the annual red-light camera program. Those public records give a view of department programs, but not a full monthly incident log. On the field, Miami Springs Senior High beat Miami Jackson 47–6 on Sept. 25, a strong finish to the month for the Golden Hawks, according to the game report.
