VIA CUMIN' OF COMMAND
FROM: MAJOR MARTS A. GINN SUBJECT:
ANNEXATION STAFFING STUDY
PROFESSIONAL SERVICES DIVISION
The Professional Standards 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 prodiuxd 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 reorganiz 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 fre personnel. There are currently four
(4) sworn vacancies within the Department to meet the approved 172 police personneL
Approximately six (6) officers axe 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 -tine, overtime basis.
The additional background investigator should help improve the overall efficiency,
budgeting and time factors of the Unit.

effective in working with the teenage youth in the explorer post. Members of the post have also
contributed their services to several charities in our community.
The unit's secretary is the receptionist and secretary for the unit. She is responsible for
maintaining all files for the Youth Resource Unit. These files include, the Police Athletic

With the anticipated annexation of certain areas within Miami -Dade County, the Youth Resource
Unit is expecting an increase in the needs for service. There are currently three very large
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_

and drug prevention presentations, as well as reported cases of neglect and abuse which are often
times reported to trust counselors at schools, not to mention an increase in juvenile crime.
1 would ]ike to propose that the department add as 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.

SUBJECT:
. FUTURE ANNEXATION
Future annexations of High Pines, Kings Bay and Little Gables will have an 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-economiclevel
than the majority 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
134 SW- 8th` `TTe`1„b.c,. 3)= nQztac Ie,vl csft is mmumity as wail as ire _�
proximity to major thoroughfares such as SW 8 St and Lejeune Rd cool translate 'nato more
targets of property crime 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, stalking 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. d r
