In order to properly connect with potential applicants and the public, an agency needs to develop its brand on social media.

Lieutenant William A. Gonzalez currently serves as the commanding officer of the Miami Police Department’s Homicide Unit within the Criminal Investigations Division.  Lt. Gonzalez began his career  in 2005 as a patrol officer in Little Havana, then went undercover with the Tactical Operations and Crime Suppression Units working narcotics and gang-related cases. He worked his way up to lieutenant in 2018 and has served as the unit commander for the Tactical Investigations, Robbery, and Homicide Units.   While overseeing Tactical Investigations, which includes the Felony Apprehension Team, he received special deputation from the U.S. Marshals to assist with safe apprehension of fugitives. More recently, under Lt. Gonzalez’s leadership, the Homicide Unit ended 2022 with a murder clearance rate of 71.4 percent. Year-to-date, the Homicide Unit boasts a 100 percent murder clearance rate. Lt. Gonzalez’s demeanor is humble and unassuming, but he inspires those around him to perform to their maximum potential. He holds others accountable, but he accepts responsibility when expectations are not met, and he credits his team members when expectations are met or exceeded.   Lt. Gonzalez chose law enforcement as a profession because he wanted to be part of something bigger than himself. There were many career paths that could fulfill that desire, but law enforcement was the only one that provided an atmosphere of selfless service and a team environment that he could relate to.   During his tenure, Lt. Gonzalez has received several citations, commendations, and awards for his hard work to the benefit of Miami and his department.     “Don’t keep your knowledge and your experience to yourself, use it as motivation to help others succeed and grow.”
