ENCLOSURES: Overtime Reduction Project
It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached Resolution
authorizing funding, in the amount of $37,134.37, for the Dade County Association of Chiefs of
Police, Court Overtime Reduction Project. Funding is to be provided from the Law Enforcement
Trust Fund, Project Numbers 690001, 690002, and 690003.
BACKGROUND
In an effort to contain rising overtime costs, the Dade County Association of Chiefs of Police,
along with the State Attorney's Office, instituted a "County Court Standby Program." This
program has dramatically reduced court overtime costs for all law enforcement agencies. Since
the program was implemented in 1997, the Police Department has been able to reduce overtime
cost by 38%. The system uses a victim/witness coordinator to ascertain officer, as well as, victim
and witness availability, thus allowing the State Attorney's Office to plan accordingly. Officers
are notified that they are being placed on a "standby" basis and will only be called when needed.
All Police Departments in Dade County are being requested to continue to financially support this
court overtime reduction program. Law enforcement agencies are billed based on the number of
sworn officers assigned to the respective department.
