"Cops Care Operation Homeless"
"Cops Care Operation Homeless" is a private group of police
officers who desire to raise funds for Miami's homeless. We plan
to accomplish this task by promoting a concert in the Orange Bowl
on August 15, 1987.
Our goals are the following:
1. Build a shelter providing temporary housing for those who
choose to make a transition back into self-sufficiency.
2. Counseling, (occupational, medical, and personal) supplied
through volunteers.
3. A kitchen to cook meals on a 24 hour basis.
4. A truck to facilitate delivering food every two (2) hours to
a different area of Dade County.
An estimated budget for this project is as follows:
1. Orange Bowl - $15,000.00 - rental fee
2. Insurance - $ 300.00 - self-insurance
3. Administration - $ 3,000.00
4. Fencing - $ 7,000.00
5. Permit - $ 25.00
6. Fire - $ 6,000.00
7. Clean-up - $ 4,000.00

PROPOSAL FOR A STUDY TO DETERMINE THE EFFECT OF THE
HOMELESS ON THE DADE COUNTY CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM:
--------- -- -----------
1.THE MIAMI POLICE DEPARTMENT MADE 69843 (UCR 26 Z) ARRESTS IN
1986.
2.AT THE REPORTED COST OF $300.00 PER ARREST, THESE 61843 ARRESTS
COST 3i11�,;_�'�lic'1_c7c^iiN TAX DOLLARS IN 1986.
3.THE NUMBER OF HOMELESS IN DADE COUNTY ARE ESTIMATED TO RANGE
FROM E, i i0l i TO 20,000.

QiscussioN -
AS INDIVIDUALS WE HAVE MIXED FEELINGS ABOUT THE HOMELESS. ON THE
ONE HAND WE CARE. EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE THEIR BASIC NEEDS MET.
ON THE OTHER HAND MANY FEEL IMPOSED UPON. WE SOMETIMES THINK THAT
MOST OF THE HOMELESS ARE TO BLAME FOR THEIR SITUATIONS. IF THEY
WOULD JUST GO TO WORK THEY COULD FIND SOME WAY TO SUPPORT
THEMSELVES.
THE CAUSES OF POVERTY ARE SO COMPLEX IN OUR SOCIETY THAT NO SIMPLE
SOLUTIONS CAN BE FOUND. WE CANT BLAME POVERTY ON THE HOMELESS
AND POOR, AND ABSOLVE THE INSTITUTIONS WHICH SHOULD SEEK WAYS TO
HELP. NOR CAN WE BLAME POVERTY ON THE SYSTEM AND ABSOLVE THE
INDIVIDUAL OF HIS RESPONSIBILITY.
AS CRIMINAL JUSTICE PROFESSIONALS WE NEED TO DETERMINE THE REAL
IMPACT, OF ARRESTING THE HOMELESS, ON THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE
SYSTEM.
AND; IF IN FACT THAT IMPACT IS COSTLY,
WITHOUT ANY LASTING BENEFIT TO THE SYSTEM,
WITHOUT -ANY -LASTING BENEFIT TO OUR .SOCIETY,
WITHOUT ANY LASTING BENEFIT TO THE ARRESTED INDIVIDUAL;
WE NEED TO BECOME CREATIVE AND INNOVIATIVE IN DESIGNING NEW
METHODOLOGIES TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM.
PROEOSAL FOR A STUDY
IN ORDER TO DETERMINE THE IMPACT OF THE HOMELESS UPON THE
CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM THE FOLLOWING FACTORS NEED TO BE
DETERMINED.
1.HOW MANY ARRESTS OF THE HOMELES ARE ACTUALLY MADE EACH YEAR?
a.HOW MANY ARE MADE BY THE MIAMI POLICE?
b.HOW MANY ARE MADE BY OTHER AGENCIES?
2.WHAT ARE THE ACTUAL COSTS TO ARREST, TO TRANSPORT, BOOK,
PROCESS, AND RELEASE ONE ARRESTEE FOR A HOMELESS ARREST?
3.WHAT IS THE TOTAL COST OF ARRESTING THE HOMELESS PER YEAR IN
DADE COUNTY?
4.WHAT ARE THE ACTUAL NUMBERS OF HOMELESS IN DADE COUNTY?
S.WHAT INNOVIATIVE METHODOLOGIES COULD BE IMPLEMENTED TO USE THE
ABOVE FUNDS TO DIVERT THE HOMELESS TO CARE FACILITIES RATHER
THAN INTO THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM?
CONCLUSION
IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT THE DADE COUNTY ASSOCIATION OF CHIEFS OF
POLICE APPOINT A STUDY COMMITTEE TO RESEARCH THE MATTER OF THE
IMPACT OF ARRESTING THE HOMELESS UPON THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM
AND TO REPORT THE FINDINGS.
