ENCLOSURES:
It is respectfully recommended that a Resolution providing funds
for the costs, expenses and fees incurred in the accreditation of
the Miami Police Department by the Commission on Accreditation
for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc., in the amount of $24,220, be
approved.
BACKGROUND:
The Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies,
Inc., was originally created as a result of the combined efforts
of four major law enforcement membership associations;
International Association of Chiefs of Police, National
Association of Black Law Enforcement Executives, National
Sheriff's Association, and the Police Executive Research Forum.
These organizations represent 60% of the U.S. law enforcement
community.
The purpose of the Commission is to develop law enforcement
standards and establish and administer an accreditation process
by which police agencies can demonstrate that they meet
professional standards. The standards by which an agency is
measured for accreditation cover the following six (6) areas: 1)
role, responsibilities and relationships with other agencies; 2)
organization, management and administration; 3) personnel
administration; 4) -police operations, operational support and
traffic enforcement; 5) prisoner and court -related services; 6)
auxiliary and technical services. The goal of the accreditation
process is to improve the delivery of law enforcement services.
It is, therefore, recommended that the Resolution providing funds
for costs, expenses and fees incurred in the accreditation of the
Miami Police Department by the Commission on the Accreditation
for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc., in the amount of $24,220, be
approved. Funding is to be from the Law Enforcement Trust Fund,
Project No. 690001, Index Code 029002-247.
