87- MIKE SILVER – Pembroke Pines Police Detective, Special Victims Unit
After years as a street cop, Mike Silver became a detective in 2011 with the Pembroke Pines Special Victims Unit where he investigates cases of rape, child molestation, child abuse, and elderly exploitation. He also volunteers in his spare time to local organizations like the Pride Center and SunServe, guest speaking and chaperoning events. When it comes to his sexuality, Silver has been out and proud in uniform since 2009. “I came out to the police force before my family and friends,” he tells us. “The police are my family. They have supported me and have been there for me through it all. They actually took me out to a gay bar after I told them. They Googled and found out about Alibi’s and took me there to show their support.”
