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 General
Membership 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 is comprised of approximately sixty
(60) local, Federal and State law enforcement agencies including the State Attorney's Office,
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). Over 300 members attend the monthly dinner meetings in order to develop
and disseminate improved administrative, technical and operational practices to enhance police
services. 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.
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 other related
administrative and office expenses.
