ATTACHMENT
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 57%, from $2,077,958 (FY '97) to $882,488 (FY '06-'07). The
system uses a victim/witness coordinator to ascertain officer, as well as, victim and
witness availability, allowing the State Attorneys Office to plan accordingly. Officers are
notified of being placed on a "standby" basis and will only be called when needed. All
Police Departments in Miami -Dade County are required to continue to financially support
this court overtime reduction program. Funds from participating law enforcement
agencies are used to hire the administrative support personnel necessary to implement
the County Court Standby Program. Law enforcement agencies are now billed based on
the proportional utilization of the services from the participating law enforcement agencies
as defined by the number of misdemeanor, traffic (including DUI) and domestic violence
court cases processed through the Richard E. Gerstein Justice Building (county court
house) located at 1351 NW 12th Street.
