RECOMMENDATION:
It is respectfully requested that the City Commission allocate
funding in an amount not to exceed thirty six thousand five
hundred dollars ($36,500) from the City of Miami Law Enforcement
Trust Fund to cover the fees, costs and expenses to be incurred
as a result of the accreditation of the Miami Police Department
by the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies,
Inc.
BACKGROUND:
The Commission on the 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
Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives, National
Sheriff's Association, and the Police Executive Research Forum -
representing 80% 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 criteria. 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; and
6) auxiliary and technical services.
The goal of the accreditation process is to improve the delivery
of law enforcement services. Therefore, in an effort to better
serve the community and to improve the effectiveness and
efficiency of the Police Department, it is requested that funding
be allocated in the amount of $36,500 to cover the necessary
fees, costs and expenses associated with accreditation.
Funding to be allocated from the Law Enforcement Trust Fund at no
cost to the taxpayers of the City of Miami.
