JUSTIFICATION:
An effort in the calculations of misdemeanor arrests for 2004 resulted in the incorrect billing for
services rendered 10/1/2005 through 9/30/2006, through the Court Standby Program. The State
Attorney's Office has been able to refine the actual cases processed through the Court Standby
Program and accurately reflect the departmental participation. As a result, a supplemental
charge in the amount of $30,954.44 has been determined.
HOW IS THIS ITEM GOING TO ENHANCE THE QUALITY OF SERVICE TO THE
CUSTOMER / CITIZENS?
In an effort to contain rising overtime costs, the Miami -Dade County Association of Chiefs of
Police, along with the State Attorney's Office, instituted the "County Court Standby Program".
This program has dramatically reduced court overtime costs for all law enforcement agencies.
Since the program's implementation in 1997, our department has reduced overtime costs by 56%,
from $2,077,958 (FY '97) to $941,447 (FY '06).
