In order to retain this status, the Department must undergo a successful re -accreditation process

the Department to also seek a Florida State Accreditation by Comparative Compliance status.
Funds in the past have been used for the following purposes: 1) Agency fee for re -accreditation
based on the number of full time employees employed by the Department of Police; 2)
Accreditation decals/seals for marked police vehicles; 3) Rental car fees for the visiting
accreditation assessors; 4) Mock on -site assessment; 5) Accreditation reception; and 6)
Miscellaneous office supplies and equipment.

Re: Miami Police Department Accreditation
Dear Mr. Le May:
As per our telephone conversation, I am including the excerpt of the Miami City Commission
Meeting held on September 28, 1995, whereby Mr. Cesar Odio, Miami City Manager, informs
the Commission and the Citizens, that your agency has notified the Miami Police Chief,
Mr. Donald Warshaw, that the Miami Police Department has been accredited.
In view of the above, I am refraining from supplementing the record of my personal appearance
on September 25, 1995 at the Public Hearing.
Sincerely Yours,
lV,
Manuel Gonza ez-Goenaga
