“If you have an opportunity to make things better and you don’t, then you are wasting your time on Earth.”

September 15- October 15 is Hispanic Heritage Month. We are proud to have a department that represents our city in its diversity and culture. This month, we will be highlighting some of our men and women from different ranks throughout our department who serve the citizens of Tampa with honor and pride.
... but why does it start in the middle of the month? Hispanic Heritage Month celebrates the anniversaries of independence for Latin American countries, including Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua, which all fall on today, September 15. It also recognizes Mexico’s Independence Day on September 16th, Chile’s on September 18th, and Belize’s on September 21st.
