Director 2 2 2008 City Manager Chief Page 1 of 1 Background Information: There is an existing and continuing possibility for the occurrence of law enforcement problems which are or are likely to be beyond the control of the services, personnel, equipment or facilities of the City of Miami Police Department and/or the participating municipal police departments, along their shared jurisdictional boundaries. In order for the respective governments to meet their responsibility of ensuring public safety and peace for the citizens of their communities, it is necessary for these participating governmental agencies to execute a Mutual Aid Agreement. The parties to this agreement have joined together in a multi jurisdictional strike force to combat illegal money laundering, drug trafficking and other drug law violations and related criminal investigations to disrupt organizations engaging in such activity through coordinated and long-term investigative, forfeiture, and prosecution efforts. Due to the departure of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, the Miami -Dade State Attorney's Office will now manage this agreement.
