The Society was formed in 1984 to satisfy the needs of local Jewish law enforcement officers and support personnel. The annual Dinner Dance is its flagship event.

This year, Commander Michael Calderin of the Broward Sheriff’s Office and Chief Thomas E. Hunker of the Bal Harbour Police Department will be honored as Person of the Year and Law Enforcement Officer of the Year, respectively.

Commander Michael Calderin has been in the Broward Sheriff’s Office since 2000 and is a founding member of the Broward County Human Trafficking Workgroup. He was recently elected vice president of the Florida Association of Crime Stoppers, and he remains an adjunct professor at the University of Phoenix. He is also a board member of the Puerto Rican Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of Broward County.

The dinner dance begins at 6:30 p.m. with hors d’ouerves; dinner, catered by Aventura Turnberry’s Events by Premier, will be served at 7:30. Guests will enjoy an open bar and live music.
