Support Information
As part of its membership and obligation, the City of Miami Police Department will be
sponsoring the December Miami Dade County Association of Chiefs of Police Executive
Committee board meeting. The monthly meetings are the responsibility of the primary
local law enforcement agencies in the county and for over a decade, the City of Miami
Police Department has been sponsoring the December meeting through donations and
Law Enforcement Trust Funds, Unfortunately, the amount of monies available through
these funding sources have diminished significantly in the past few years requiring a new
and readily recurring source of funds.
The Miami Dade County Association of Chiefs of Police comprise of approximately sixty
(60) local, Federal and State law enforcement agencies including the State Attorney,
DEA (Drug Enforcement Agency), FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigations), ATF
(Alcohol Tobacco, and Firearms), U.S. Marshals, U.S. Secret Service, and FDLE (Florida
Department of Law Enforcement). It has been in existence since 1937 and over the
decades, has significantly improved the quality of law enforcement in Miami Dade
County through its interagency cooperation and mutual assistance. The organization
operates primarily through its monthly executive board luncheons and monthly general
board dinner meetings. The high level of police services we all enjoy is a tribute to the
effectiveness of such an organization.
Currently, over 300 members attend the monthly dinner meetings in order to develop and
disseminate improved administrative, technical and operational practices to enhance
police services. Meetings are held to review and reevaluate the goals and objectives in
light of current and emerging issues in the law enforcement environment, Those issues
include but are not limited to:
• Integrity and ethical behavior in professional policing
• Tolerance and appreciation for diversity with police agencies and with the public
• Joint agency coordination to reduce court overtime expenditures
• Standardization of high risk policies to reduce and better manage liability
• Development of mutual aid polices and coalitions to improve resource and critical
incident management
• Community Safety Programs
The association does not have a revenue source other than membership fees and therefore
relies on sponsoring local law enforcement agencies to host the monthly dinner meetings.
It does not have a facility or other assets. The dues are used for executive luncheons and
administrative expenses such as a newsletter and membership mailings. The amount
requested will cover the entire event which includes the use of the ballroom, food and
beverage for at least 300 members, audio and visual equipment rental, and related
administrative and office expenses. All the large local agencies individually sponsor a
monthly dinner meeting. However, for the smaller agencies, two or three of them will
combine their financial resources to sponsor a meeting.
