The Hialeah Police Department announced a specialized unit to curb aggressive driving and reduce crashes on city streets. The initiative has two stated goals: intervene against dangerous behavior and help lower traffic incidents.

Police Chief George Fuente and Mayor Bryan Calvo participated in the announcement. The unit was described as Hialeah's most concrete institutional response to aggressive driving.

The team will have five members: one sergeant and four officers. The sergeant is included in the total rather than added to the four officers.

The unit will also have five vehicles reserved exclusively for its mission. Although the number matches the personnel total, no one-to-one assignment was announced.

Hialeah recorded nearly 10,000 crashes during the previous year. That figure provides context but does not establish how many directly involved aggressive driving. The announced aim is to curb those behaviors and reduce crashes.
