Leading by example .. ?

Homestead, FL- Chief Mario Knapp drinking beer and smoking a stogy while wearing Homestead Police Department insignia?

But he did it for the gram.

Most department policies strictly prohibit purchasing or consuming alcohol while in uniform, even off-duty, to uphold public trust, maintain professionalism, and avoid any perception of impairment or misconduct.

Drinking on duty is a clear violation, but even off-duty uniform rules usually forbid alcohol consumption to ensure officers always appear fit for duty and represent their agency appropriately.

But I’m sure that’s Apple juice he’s consuming and an egg plant he’s holding on the other hand?

Don’t drink or smoke on the job kids.

Stay Safe.

How’s this HPD officer still on the force with the danger he bestowed on Homestead residents for over a year and with this lengthy criminal record..?

Maybe he’s HPD’s enforcer or maybe he has too many secrets on the next HPD Chief .. huh ?

One thing is certain he should NOT be on active duty, he’s a clear and present danger.

Stay Safe.

**PSA**
If you ever have Officer Perez assisting you after a car accident or incident.

Request a supervisor, aside from unknown how he passed the physical, his investigating skills are that of a 5th grader.

Did you know HPD puts notes next to residents they don’t like?? Us neither ..

FLORIDA- House Bill 253, now makes it a second-degree misdemeanor for tag frames and covers.

Florida law, HB 253 effective October 1, 2025, bans license plate frames, covers (even clear/tinted), coatings, or anything that obstructs any part of your plate’s lettering, numbers, decals, or the word “Florida,” making it a second-degree misdemeanor, punishable by fines up to $500 and jail time, as it interferes with visibility and identification. Drivers must ensure their plates are fully legible and visible from a distance, removing any frames or covers that hide anything on the plate.

Remove them from your car.

Stay Safe.
