From Satellite Beach Police: Today, we celebrated the retirement of School Resource Officer Corporal Gretta Valiente-Smith, honoring 23 years of dedicated service to the City of Satellite Beach and DeLaura Middle School.
Since joining the force in 2002, Gretta brought passion, professionalism, and heart to every role she took on. Her career was filled with commendations and courageous acts — but what truly set her apart was the deep, lasting impact she made on the community she served.
As DeLaura’s SRO for nearly two decades, Cpl. Valiente-Smith was more than an officer — she was a mentor, protector, and a steady presence in the lives of students, staff, and families.

Thank you, Gretta, for your unwavering commitment and professionalism. Your legacy will live on in every life you touched. Wishing you peace, happiness, and well-deserved adventures in retirement!
