Gary lei SEP 23oaPoi 3 ; 3'EP 2 2 i^A FILE: City Manager -_ SUBJECT Law Enforcement Appreciation Foundation now PROM`REFERENCES: Kenneth I. Harms Chief of Police FNCLOSURES. Pursuant to your instructions, I met with Mr. Herbert J. Golub, President of the Law Enforcement Appreciation Foundation, hereinafter referred to as LEAF, Mr. Charles W. Brownlee, President of Results Unlimited, Inc., who is the professional fund raiser for LEAF, Mr. Frederick K. Lickstein, the attorney for LEAF and Mr. Ed Lustig, the LEAF treasurer. The purpose of this meeting, as you know, was to have LEAF respond to several questions which had not been addressed in previous literature associated with this organization. In addition to the questions I discussed with the aforementioned individuals, I am forwarding support information relating to a description of LEAF, a request for Public Capital Funding for the Law Enforcement Stress Center and a listing of Board members and Advisory Committee members. uestions and Responses Q - Is LEP,F Irn.. a Florida not for Profit Corporation? A - Yes, as of June 4, 1981. Q - Has LEAF applied for registration under F.S. 469? i A - Yes, however, it has not been officially approved as of September 3, 1981. = It is anticipated that notification will be received within a week to ten days, at which time a copy of notification will be forwarded to me. Q - Will professional solicitors be utilized to collect monies or receive pledges for LEAF? A Yes. Results Unlimited Inc. Q What percentage will the soliciting agency receive? A 9.8% which is well below the United Way at 12% and the state cap of 25%. 8Y g t '4 + - Has a Certificate for Internal Revenue Code designation been duly submitted? A - Yes. The organization applied July 2,1981 under 501(C)(3) (Charitable Organizations) and is awaiting approval which is anticipated in December. The lack of approval at this time has no adverse impact on solicitations beyond the ability of contributors to cite a 501-C-3 to IRS for tax purposes. Q - How will funding be continued after the intial period? A - Current funding plans call for approximately eight million dollars over a four year period. These contributions are to be solicited almost entirely from the private sector after an initial investment of 'seed money' from public agencies (entities) including Dade County and the City of Miami. Future funding beyond the four years is expected to come from Special Events and Research grants. Q - Will the psychological aspects of the organization's approach fall within the perimeters of F.S. 90.503? A - Yes. However, the entire issue of public records relating to Stress Center personal profiles is being explored by the LEAF attorney. All concerned parties desire record confidentiality relating to participant psychological profiles. In summary, LEAF appears to be all that it claims to be. Board and Advisory Committee members seem to be a cross section of our community, many of whom routinely participate in worthwhile community endeavors. I endorse the concept of LEAF as being worthwhile to our South Florsda community, but I am unable to endorse the organization as it has no prior hist.my. However, there is no adverse information available to preclude the participation of the City of Miami in what appears to be a program with considerable potential. I would suggest that the City Commission give serious consideration to funding the Stress Center consistent with reasonable business practices including routine accounting, reporting, bonding and participation in an oversight committee. KIH:sbb r \ 'L THE LAW ENFORCEMENT APPRECIATION FOUNDATION, INC. What Is LEAF? The Law Enforcement Appreciation Foundation, Inc. (LEAF) is a not -for -profit corpora- tion under Chapter 617 of the Florida Statutes. The activities of the corporation are consistent with Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954. The Board of Directors is composed entirely of individuals from the private sector and represents the tri-ethnic nature of Dade County. The Advisory Committee is com- posed of technical advisors from both the public (elected and salaried appointed) sector and private sector. LEAF has chosen as its first project the building of a Law Enforcement Stress Center for use by all county, municipal, state and federal law enforcement officers and their families performing their duties within Dade County. Why The Need For A Stress Center? FACT - Police work has been identified as the most psychologically dangerous occupa- tion in the world. FACT - Police officers exhibit an unusual amount of absenteeism, ulcers, arthritis and emotional problems due to job related stress. 5ru.v-Le_? FACT - Three -fourths of police officers' heart attacks are due to job related stress. s*ouvre FACT - A police officer who retires at .age 35 with a disability will collect $500,000 during a normal life span. FACT - As many as 25% of police officers have serious alcohol problems. 57CILrce ? FACT - The police divorce rate is significantly above the national average. In Dade County, the divorce rate among law enforcement officers is 66%. SCuvYL? What Is The Stress Center? The Stress Center is a totally integrated facility with programs designed to address the physiological, psychological and sociological elements of stress for law enforce- ment officers and their families. The Physiological - Specialist and professional staff will evaluate each officer's physical fitness and place them on a personalized program to increase physical stam- ina, improve eating habits and weight control and to decrease sleeping problems. The Center will house examination rooms, complete exercise equipment, track and recrea- tion facilities. The Psychological - Through groups and individual counseling, law enforcement offi- cers will learn to become aware of the symptoms of stress, the environmental situa- tions that cause it, and practical techniques for dealing with its manifestations. The Center will house seminar facilities, "break-out" discussion rooms and individual counseling rooms. The Sociological - Through activities and programs for the whole family, the officers and their families would experience a decrease in general anxieties, increase satis- faction in marital, friendship and other relationships and increase the individual's capacities for dealing with stress in an effective manner. The Center will house social meeting rooms and have outdoor recreational facilities. The demands placed on today's officer is ever-increasing in Dade County, the number one crime area in the country. By responding positively to this need, Dade County will be the first in the country addressing the issue of stress in this fashion. The Role Of Public Funding Public funding will he actively solicited solely for the organizational start-up pur- poses. Law enforcement officers would not wish for their participation in psycho- logical stress counseling to become a matter of public record and be transmitted to their superiors on the force. It is for that reason that LEAF requests public fund- ing not be allocated for operating purposes, without the requirement that there be any disclosure to the public regarding participating officers. A minimum of $475,000 is needed for start-up funding. Each government organization is requested to make a one-time contribution to fund a portion of that total based on their ratio of employed law enforcement officers. t r 7 d i t 1 i 14 e t' I e I tJ k i_ i r � r£ St SIGN " �� I r k rr`) Y• k a i n r 7N Y �fi fi . z r 4 � r g F li 5 t "AMO 1 y� Ii kr (t. fr s 1 r k a N ,?,t k 011,jzzr 't` �j ,f f td 1'n s " taE PEN i F'51.4Y {fin yCi Yi; 3r�E'i P �L ao t! j. 11 I. Introduction To LEAF the Law Enforcement Appreciation Foundation, Inc. (LE:kF), a not -for -profit cor- poration under Chapter 617 of the Florida Statutes is organized to: - Assist law enforcement personnel in the performance of their daily duties and under emergency conditions more efficiently; - Make services and fund3 available to assist law enforcement personnel in protecting the public and in the apprehension of criminals; - Act as a liaison between law enforcement personnel and the community at large; - Create a law abiding atmosphere; and, - Provide auxiliary services to law enforcement agencies. The activities of the corporation are consistent with Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue code of 1954, as amended. The certificate for Internal Rev- enue code designation has been duly submitted. The organization of LE.1-F is as follows: 1. The Board of Directors and officers of the corporation is composed entirely of private citizens, none of whom hold an elected or publicly appointed salaried office. A Nominating Committee is appointed and charged With the continuing responsibility of maintaining tri-ethnic representation on the Board of Directors. (A Listing of current directors and officers is found in Appendix "A".) 2. The Advisory Committee of LEAF is composed of technical advisors from both the public (elected and salaried appointed) sector and private sector. (A listing of the current Advisory Committee is found in Appendix "A".) Under the broad scope of purpose of its incorporation, LEE has chosen as its first project the building of a Law Enforcement Stress Center for use by all federal, state, county and municipal law enforcement officers and their fami- lies performing their duties within Dade County. The following pages will prove the need for such a center, outline the program- matic and operational objectives and reveal the funding requirements. d II. Statement of Current Situation Ad Stress in America In the four decades since Dr. Hans Selye be,,an to study the effects of stress on people, our society has generated an ever-growing set of condi- _? tions and situations conducive to stress. During this time americans have experienced a tremendous growth in technology accompanied by revolutionary cultural and social changes. In our highly industrialized society man has become increasingly less significant, more alienated frcm his family and the closeness of relatives and friends. The characteristics of our urban world such as increased mobility, the changing family structure, rapid pace —1 of life, m,!shrooming or information, isolation from nature, and so on, are truly stress -inducing conditions. These factors have led to man's growing y over his life and made him vulnerable to the feeling of uncontrollabilit I assault of unremitting stress. Stress occurs when an individual confronts a situation where his or her usual modes or behavior are insufficient and the consequences of not adapt- ing are serious. The Kind of stress that afflicts modern man and which causes problems for people is what Selve called "distress." Distress is continual stress that demands from a person constant readjustment or adap- tation and which, if prolonged enough, can result in fatigue, exhaustion, and even physical or mental breakdown. Situations are usually considered stressful where the demands of the envi- ronment exceed the pet-son's actual abilities, where clear obstacles exist to fulfilling strong needs or values, or where situations are unpredict- able. Not all people will label any one set of circumstances as stressful. Different individuals respond to the same conditions in different ways. Some people may enter rapidly into a stress state when faced with a situa- tion that would cause others to show increased alertness and apparently improved performance. On the other hand, the same person may enter into a stress state in response to one presumably stressful condition and not to another. Therefore, stress -inducing situations are idiosyncratically and personally defined. The amount of stress that the individual experiences is mediated by personality variables and the person's past history of behavior and reinforcement.(1) S. Stress and Police Work The high rates of stress -related problems found among police personnel in particular are not surprising when the nature of police work is considered. Apart from the modern day conditions to which most of us are exposed, there are some unique stresses associated with being a police officer. • 1 Police work has been identified as the most psychologically dangerous job in the world. Police jobs are frequently physically and emotionally more hazardous than other occupations in both general and situation -specific terms. The police officer often works in a perilous and threatening envi- ronment where injury or death are real possibilities. The policeman is repeatedly called upon to handle tra= acic emergencies and crises of all types. In addition, because he is an authority s,rmbol in the cow+aunity, the officer automatically becomes the target or an-=_r and resentment even from people whom he is trying to help. Shiftwork in policing has been identified as pre -disposing officers to various illnesses and having harm- ful effects on family relationships. The stressful nature of the police- man's job riot only increases his chances for stress -related physiological diseases but also produces detrimental cooing strategies which affect his private life and his psychological and emotional wellbeing. Numerous studies indicate that police officers e:chibit an unusual amount of divorces, alcoholism, absenteeism, coronary diseases, ulcers, arthritis and emotional problems. As a profession, police officers have the highest sui- cide rate in the nation. Studies show that as many as 25 percent of police officers have serious alcohol problems. The police divorce rate is signi- ficantly above the national average. In Jade County, the divorce race among law enforcement officers is 66Z. Other studies have shown that three -fourths of police officers' heart attacks are due to job -related stress. _ These emotional, physical and occupational casualties not only affect the officer's personal life and ability to do his job effectively, but they also constitute a financial burden to the police or;anization and the com- munity for which he works. This economic drain manifests itself in officer disability compensation, absenteeism, and replacement for disabled offi- cers. As an example, a police officer who retires at age 35 with a disa- bility will collect $500,000 during a normal life span. Figures can be added to total the economic losses. The toll of stress in terms of unhap- piness, unsatisfactory marital and family relationships, and personal lack of productivity is more difficult to calculate. (1) Although stress is measured as a physiological state, law enforcement offi- cers require much more than physical preparedness for extreme stress and the practice of stress reducing mechanisms. The two looming categories of stressors for police officers are phychological and social. As mentioned above, the law enforcement officer is called upon to efficiently handle traumatic emergencies and crises of all types and is often the target of anger and resentment even from the people whom he is trying to help. The law enforcement officer, much like troops engaged in guerrilla warfare, has difficulty in determining who is an enemy or an ally. A typical shift day of an officer could present many such situations. The social stress situations of a police officer are also numerous. Not I only does the officer live under the constant threat of disability or 1 death, but also does the officer's family. Other than informal associa- tions among a select circle of friends, there is no formal, structured pro- gram addressing the family stress of a law enforcement officer. This has caused the police officer's family to bond together with other families _ engaged in the same profession. This narrowing of the social circle, while being supportive of common problems, has reduced the opportunity for alter- native outlets of discussion, recreation and relaxation. In summary, the law enforcement officer, more than members of any other profession, is under the greatest amount of psychological, sociological and physiological stress. In Dade County, today, various police departments are teaching stress management courses; but, by their own admission, these efforts are only whispering to the total need. There is no common facil- ity, no gathering place where all three of the stressors can be addressed and corrected in a structured fashion. All of this need ... in Dade County, Florida... which has become the number one crime area in the country. The following pages will provide an overview of the programmatic goals of the LFAc Stress Canter. In accomplishing these goals, Dade County, Florida, will be the first area in the country to respond positively in this time of need...in this _fashion. There exists, under the committee structure of LEAF, a Facilities Planning Committee. The function of this committee will be to provide technical assist- ance toward the planning and development of the Stress Center to allow for accomplishment of programmatic goals. The Committee has defined their broad goals to plan for addressing the three elements of stress on the law enforce- ment officer; the physiological, the psychological and the social. A. The Physiological Goal The physiological goal will be to erect an structure which will complement the physical functioning of the officer (e.g. blood pressure, pulse, heart rate); to increase physical stamina; to improve eating habits and weight control; and to decrease sleeping problems. The program would be comprehensive in nature and will provide each officer with a thorough physical evaluation. Through analysis of this evaluation, an individual plan would be developed for each officer to become physically and nutritionally fit and to maintain that state. In order to complement the physiological goal the Stress Center would be designed to include: - A physical examination area and equipment - Gymnasium - Indoor and outdoor running tracks - Sauna, whirlpool area - Exercise equipment area - Racquetball/handball courts - Swimming pool - Areas for other recreational - Nutritional snack bar area opportunities (bowling, tennis; It is the intent of the Committee that all physical programs will be closely staffed with qualified professionals and specialists. = B. The Psychological Goal The psychological goal would be to erect an structure which would be con— ducive to teaching law enforcement officers to become aware of the symptoms of stress, the environmental situations that cause it, and practical tech- niques for dealing with its manifestations. The psychological program would be a continuing and on -going part of the Stress Center's curriculum, allowing for individual counseling of a short or long-term nature if an officer is struggling with a difficult psycho- logical stressor. Ifi order to complement the psychological goal, the Stress Center would be designed to include: - Seminar facilities - "Breakout" discussion rooms Individual counseling rooms It is the intent of the Committee that all psychological programs would be conducted by the best qualified persons in the field and coordinated by a staff of highly competent professionals and technicians. C. The Sociological Coal The sociological coal will be to erect an structure which will be conducive to broadening the parameters of social contacts and experiences for the entire law enforcement family. One of the most frequent recommendations made by officers who have partici- pated in the stress course has been an increased involvement of the fznily in the program. It has been obvious that life changes would be facilitated if spouses and those closest to the officers shared in the process of change. Not only would the Stress Center provide a focal point for law enforcement families to interface, but also programs designed to bring in the community at large would be planned in order to broaden the scope and appreciation of other social contacts. Activities would range from picnics for families to marriage encounter "retreats" to lectures and seminars specifically geared to special interest groups within the law enforcement ranks i.e., retirement seminars). The social program's goals would be to decrease general anxiety, to in- crease satisfaction in marital, friendship or other relationships, and to increase the individual's capabilities for dealing with stress in an effec- tive manner. It is a program which will assist officers and their families in making practical alterations in their "life-styles" that will result in decreased amounts of distress symptoms and in more productive and healthy lives. In order to complement the social goal, the Stress Center, in addition to using the space for the physiological and psychological goal accomplish- ment, would include: - Outdoor recreational areas - Social meeting rooms As above, the Committee's goal is that all recreational and social staff competent professionals and technicians. z b. The Continuing Research Goal 1 In an effort to spearhead the research into law enforcement occupational { stress as well as provide annual operating funds for the Stress Center, a goal of the Center will be to form a Stress Research Institute which will operate out of the facility. Plans for such a facility will be made so a to integrate that component into the Stress Center complex. The following pages represent the funding requirements for the Law Enforcemen Stress Center. � t t E ) s r t t 1 � Y L t ALL '� 7 y 2 k F a � ,L�dfr ii � t 0,4 F ITT S t_ k =• ay"Y ' �"YYiafbyf }x x i. !! : f L Ar, 'tTw7N` t: y 7 ,wrE 4kt tP6R,ti ` : !

(LEAF) has adopted a budget for the capital and operational funding needs for the first three years of operation of the Stress Center. Below are the budgetary requirements; the plans for capital funding and the role of public funding of this project. A. The Budgetary Requirements Capital Funds TOTA I. Land - 5 To 15 Acres........... 6,....66616$1,000)000 Building ............................... 2,500,000 Equipment ................ ..t..:. 6 .... 500,000 Contingencies .........500,000 Fund Raising Costs...........`.......... 800,000 CAPITAL FUNDS ...... -...... .....4 ..................... $51300,000 Oneratine Funds . B. Funding Plans Under the organization of LEAF, there exists a Capital Development Com- mittee, charged with the responsibility of securing the initial start-up funding from the public sector, and monitoring the campaign within the private sector. LEAF will organize a three year fund drive which will request from corpora- tions, foundations and wealthy individuals, inves=ents to be paid over a three to five year time span. a LEAF also plans to involve the entire community in the campaign, at the right time, with special events and public gatherings to provide true com- munity "ownership" of this effort. Without immediate start-up funding, however, we cannot get off the ground. We plan to request from the elected leadership of the major political organizations in Dade County their monetary assistance in providing start- up funds of a block ;rant or other nature for capital purposes. . C. The Role of Public Fundinl- Public funding will be actively solicited for the pur-poses of capital development. Due to the delicate nature of stress and stress psychological counseling, it is obvidus that public funding be restricted to the capital development area and the operating funds be funneled solely frcm the pri- vate sector. Most, if not all, law enforcement officers would not wish for their partic-pation in psychological stress counseling to become a matter of public record and be transmitted to their superiors on the force. It is for -that reason that LEAF requests public funding to be allocated for capi- tal development purposes, without the requirement that there be any dis- closure to the public regarding participating officers. Oe V. Funding Request LEAF is in need of a minimum of $475,000 in total start-up funding. There are 3,800 law enforcement officers in Dade County. Approximately 21% of these officers are employees of The City of Miami. Therefore, LEAF respectively requests $99,750 from The City of Miami as its share of the necessary start-up funding for capital development. It is requested that these funds be made available by September 1, 1981.

It was decided that monies from local public funding would not exceed 7'% of the total required to erect the stress center. A formula was devised based on the number of police personnel in each community and was presented to the hoard. The Capital Development Com- mittee was then given the responsibility of directing this drive. A meeting was held with Metro -Dade Mayor Stephen Clark on July 29, + 1981, and he lent his support to the project. Mayor Clark also agreed to serve on the Advisory Committee of LEAF. Meetings were held on August 5, 1981 with Mayor Ferre of the City of Miami, as well as Mayor Meyerson of Miami beach. Both officials gave their support to the program. We then began calling on Commissioners of these cities as well as ether Dade Municipalities. The calls began with the City of Hialeah Councilman Silvio Cardosa on August 8, 1981. We then met with the Miami Commission on August 18, 1981 and completed all calls by September 5, 1981. We also met with all the Metro -Dade Commissioners on September 2, 1981 at a presenta- tion of the Metro -Dade Commission. The City of Hialeah Council was presented with the project on September 2, 1981. Mr. Golub and Mr. Brownlee formally presented the project to the Miami Commission on September 10, 1981. The Commission voted an intent to fund pending a meeting with the City Manager and Chief Harms. That meeting took place on Septmeber 16, 1981 and resulted in a memo from Chief Harms to the City Manager on September 22, 1981.
