Drivers in Miami-Dade may spot PUGs driving next to them soon thanks to a new feature introduced by the sheriff’s office — and it has nothing to do with the dog.

The Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office recently announced that it will begin using a new state-of-the-art, fully-autonomous vehicle called Police Unmanned Ground (PUG). The sheriff’s office says it is the first agency in the nation to begin using an AI-driven vehicle for patrols.

The vehicle — which was donated by the Policing Lab, a company that aims to help law enforcement through data and analytics — comes equipped with 360-degree cameras, license plate readers, thermal imaging and audio sensors. In a sheriff’s office press release, officials noted that the vehicle comes at no cost to taxpayers.

Could the Miami-Dade School District Reinstate BusPatrol? Here’s What to Know.

By Leesfield & Partners

Officials with a school bus safety company, the Miami-Dade County School District and the sheriff’s office are parsing through BusPatrol plans to possibly reinstate the program, according to reporting from The Miami Herald.

The initial aim back at the start of the 2024-25 school year — when the district’s buses were first equipped with the company’s cameras — was to capture the information of drivers who illegally passed buses with their stop arms extended. This was an effort to combat what officials at the time were calling a “huge safety concern” for children boarding and disembarking from school buses. Drivers who violated state law and passed buses with their stop arms extended were cited at least $225.

Within the first two weeks of the school year, thousands of citations were issued.
