SUBJECT: Proposed Resolution
FROM: . Edward Marqu� REFERENCES: Latent Print Examiners;
City Manager ENCLOSURES: Professional Services
Agreements
RECOMNIENDATION:
It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the enclosed Resolution allowing
the City Manager to execute Professional Services Agreements with individuals to provide latent
print examiner services, in an amount not to exceed $63,000.00, as needed by the Miami Police
Department. Funding is to be from the Police Department General Operating Budget, Index Code

BACKGROUND:
The staffing situation in the Police Department's Latent Print Detail has been in decline for the past
decade. They have gone from seven (7) examiners to the current level of two (2). The Detail is
responsible for identifying criminals through fingerprints left on crime scenes. The current staffing
has seriously hampered this effort. The Department has been unable to attract qualified applicants
to fill available positions. In addition, the training time for an individual to become certified is two
to three years. The department has also been unsuccessful in its attempts to hire certified latent
print examiners.
A positive solution and the best alternative at this time, is the continued use of retired certified
latent print examiners. The Department has had much success with this method. The Police
Department will utilize a Professional Services Agreement to place these Providers under contract
with the City.
