Generation after generation, it's all in the family for the Heller Bolingers. Between all of them they've worked at the Miami-Dade Police Department going all the way back to 1958.
There's two grandfathers, a husband and wife, an aunt and now a son in the academy, all working for the department at one point in time. From the past, present and now the future there must be something in their genes, as this family has been dedicated to public service and protecting the community in Miami.
While the family has a long history in police work they actually tried to steer their youngest, Justin, away from law enforcement at first but they are filled with pride that he's in the police academy and hope to continue their legacy with the department.
"I am proud of my grandson, I'm proud of my family, I'm proud of the Hellers, I'm proud of the Bolingers and let's just continue doing what we do and what we do best is have respect for our community, for the Miami-Dade Police Department and our nation," said Erve "Red" Heller, retired assistant director of Miami-Dade Police.
When Justin graduates from the academy in a few weeks he will also share the same badge number, 64, as his grandfather and father.
