Thank you JAN.30.2004 10:20AM CITY_CLERK S_OFFICE NO. 265 P. 16 CITY OF CORAL GABLES -MEMORANDUM- TO: C)OD:EF JAMES S. RARLEY VIA, CR4XN OF COMMAND DATE: MAY 7, 2003 FROM: MAJOR MARK A. GINN SUBJECT: ANNEXATION STAFFING STUDY PROFESSIONAL SERVICES DIVISION The Professional Stancimrds Division has reviewed the Annexation Study prepared by the Department for the Office of the City Manager and recommends the following personnel additions: • One civilian Police Support Services Assistant. This should be classified as a 15C with an hourly salary range of $13.9532 - $18.6986 or an annual salary range of $29,022.64 - $38,892.87. This additional civilian position would be responsible for assisting all sections of the Professional Standards Division. With the proposed annexations to the City there will be an additional workload produced for recruitment and selection. An additional workload has been created in the Accreditation Section due to an increase in the CALEA standards and their complexity. New state statutes have mandated additional criteria to the Department's SOP's, directives and training There are considerations by the City and the Department to pursue the Florida (State) Accreditation Standards and the Technical Services — Communications National Accreditation. Due to budgetary constraints there is an increased reliance on the Department to seek grant funding. Should the recommendation be approved to add the civilian Police Support Services Assistant the Professional Standards Division would be able to reorgani7P to develop a Command Staff Inspection Unit. A Command Staff Inspection Unit would improve the overall efficiency and professionalism of the Department and help assume the increase in workload, • One sworn 5020 police officer position. This officer would be assigned to the Human Resources Unit as a background investigator. The additional position would allow for the development of a full time recruitment program in accordance with Accreditation Standards. Currently the Department does not meet all of the requirements established by CALEA for a recruitment program. The recruitment and hiring of qualified police officers is recognized as a national dilemma.. The Department must have an aggressive recruitment program for police, dispatchers and fare personnel. There are currently four (4) swom vacancies within the Department to meet the approved 172 police personneL Approximately six (6) officers are projected to retire or leave the Department in the next year. With the proposed annexations between five (5) and twenty-two (22) sworn positions may required to properly staff the Department. These figures do not include civilian support personnel or Dispatchers and Fire Department personnel. As many as ten (10) more Dispatchers may be required The additional full time background investigator would help to reduce the length of time it takes to conduct the JAN.30.2004 10:20AM CITY_CLERK'S_OFFICE NO.265 P. 17 investigations. The individual would also help reduce the overtime cost and fill the void of trained officers to conduct background investigations on a part-time, overtime basis. The additional background investigator should help improve the overall efficiency, budgeting and time factors of the Unit. JAN. 30. 2004 10:20AM CITY_CLERK•S_OFFICE Na 265.

With the anticipated annexation of certain areas within Miami -Dade County, the Youth Resburce Unit is expecting an increase in the needs for service. There are currently three very Iarge schools located within the proposed areas for annexation; Epiphany Catholic School (student population 1,100), Our Lady of Lourdes Academy (student population 850), and Sunset Elementary (student population 1,100). With each additional school, there comes a unique challenge, For example, Sunset Elementary School is involved with the DARE program. More tban two hundred fifty students are taught DARE annually at Sunset Elementary. By far, this would become the City's largest student body. for DARE instruction. In addition, there are three separate dismissal times for Sunset Elementary School, and the neighborhood surrounding this school has had on going traffic problems for years. Miami -Dade County Police Officers are often summoned to assist with the traffic surrounding the school. With the addition of these -.,�, 1'hre`veryrlar-erseis, the imf c&kasta�sgrforiT�.,,to. and drug prevention presentations, as well as reported cases of neglect and abuse which are often tunes reported to trust counselors at schools, not to mention an increase in juvenile crime. I would like to propose that the department add an additional detective to the Youth Resource Unit in order to effectively service these additional schools, and the more than 3,000 students who will accompany them. JAN. 30. 2004 10:21AM CITY_CLERK S OFFICE NO, 265 P. 21 CITY OF CORAL GABLES -MEMORANDUM- TO: MAJOR RICHARD NAVE DATE: MARCH 21, 2003 VIA CHAIN OF COISIMAND FROM: SGT. KEN ARMSTRON 0- CRIMES AGAINST PERSONS UNrr SUBJECT: . FUTURE ANNEXATION Future annexations of High Pines, Kings Bay and Little Gables will have as impact on services provided by our police department. Looking at the three neighborhoods that could be annexed it's effect on the Crimes Against Persons Unit could be limited. There are no businesses in Kings Bay and it is projected that it will be a gated community in the near future. This would limit potential targets for robbery. In addition the socio-economic level of the community should limit the amount of assault and battery while possibly making them targets for property crimes. Looking at the area of High Pines there is a limited amount of commercial business along Red Rd. as well as Sunset Rd. There are a number of small apartment buildings in the western boundary of High Pines. These apartments appear to be of a much lower socio-economic level than the znaj onity of High Pines. This small area could increase the number of potential battery, assault,' harassment and domestic related crime. Little Gables is another mostly residential community with a limited number of businesses in the p4 SW e T oe, ;Feonozu .0 Ie el csftl s ..bmmumity as well as-it'•s - proxinaitytomajor thoroughfares such as SW 8 Si and Lejeune Rd con71-d trarislate'rato more targets of property Grime that could include robbery. There is a significantly lower socio- economic community in the northeast boundary of Little Gables that could account for more assault and battery investigations including domestic related crime. Overall the three potential new communities have such small commercial areas and high socio- economic levels the current complement of crimes against persons investigators could handle any sporadic and isolated purse snatch, home invasion, sex battery that might occur. There are enough lower socio-economic areas embedded in these communities that could account for an increase in assault/battery and especially domestic related battery, stalldng and threat. At current staffing levels we have one investigator handling all domestic related crime in the city. I would submit that an additional investigator be assigned to the Crimes Against Persons Unit that would be assigned to investigate domestic related crime_ JAN.30.2004 10:21AM CITY_CLERK S_OFFICE NO.265 P. 22 CITY OF CORAL GABLES -MEMORANDUM- TO: RICHARD J.
