INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the
City Commissi
DATE: January 5, 2015
SUBJECT: Police Department Hiring and
rStaffing Update
FROM: Daniel J. Al
City Manager
As per the request of the City Commission during the October 10, 2013, City Commission meeting, I
present this memorandum, which outlines the Police Department's manpower allocation and hiring
progress.
The Miami Police Department is currently operating with 102 sworn vacancies, although 80 of those
vacancies/positions were recently added at the beginning of the 2015 Fiscal Year. For the past two years,
we have averaged 106 new police officers per year — a remarkable feat, considering the fact that we
implemented some of the most rigorous pre -employment background screening requirements in our
agency's history. There are 19 sworn members of the Police Department who must separate from service
due to the DROP in 2015.
The following is a breakdown of the Police Department's hiring progress since the December 11, 2014 City
Commission meeting:
Position
Status
Police Officer
•
Hired 101 Police Officers in 2014 (net gain of 48).
•
Two (2) applicants hired since last City Commission meeting.
•
Five (5) applicants awaiting medical clearance to hire.
•
Sixteen (16) applicants undergoing background investigation (expected to be
hired in January 2015, if they pass all pre -employment hurdles).
•
Forty-eight (48) applicants undergoing psychological testing (expected to be
hired February 2015, if they pass all pre -employment hurdles).
•
Conducting new recruitment for Police Officers on January 12, 2015.
Civilian Positions
•
Hired 5 Emergency Dispatch Assistants.
The table on page 2 is a snapshot of the Police Department's hiring progress and staffing levels from April
2014 through December 2014.
