Ms. Lillian Biondet
City of Miami
3500 Pan Amcrican Drive
Miami, FL 33133
Dear Ms. Biondet:
Congratulations on your recent award. In establishing financial assistance programs, Congress linked the receipt of Federal funding to
compliance with Federal civil rights laws. The Office for Civil Rights (OCR), Office of Justice Programs (OJP), U.S. Department of Justice
is responsible for ensuring that recipients of financial aid from OJP, its component offices and bureaus, the Office on Violence Against
Women (OVW), and the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) comply with applicable Federal civil rights statutes and
regulations. We at OCR are available to help you and your organization meet the civil rights requirements that come with Justice
Department funding.
Ensuring Access to Federally Assisted Programs
As you know, Federal laws prohibit recipients of financial assistance from discriminating on the basis of race, color, national origin,
religion, sex, or disability in funded programs or activities, not only in respect to employment practices but also in the delivery of services or
benefits. Federal law also prohibits funded programs or activities from discriminating on the basis of age in the delivery of services or
benefits.
Providing Services to Limited English Proficiency (LEP) Individuals
In accordance with Department of Justice Guidance pertaining to Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, 42 U.S.C. § 2000d, recipients of
Federal financial assistance must takc reasonable steps to provide meaningful access to their programs and activities for persons with limited
English proficiency (LEP). For more information on the civil rights responsibilities that recipients have in providing language services to
LEP individuals, please see thc websitc at http://www.lep.gov.
Ensuring Equal Treatment for Faith -Based Organizations
The Department of Justice has published a regulation specifically pertaining to the funding of faith -based organizations. In general, the
regulation, Participation in Justice Department Programs by Religious Organizations; Providing for Equal Treatment of all Justice
Department Program Participants, and known as the Equal Treatment Regulation 28 C.F.R. part 38, requires State Administering Agencies
to treat these organizations the same as any other applicant or recipient. The regulation prohibits State Administering Agencies from making
award or grant administration decisions on the basis of an organization's religious character or affiliation, religious name, or the religious ,
composition of its board of directors.
The regulation also prohibits faith -based organizations from using financial assistance from the Department of Justice to fund inherently
religious activities. While faith -based organizations can engage in non -funded inherently religious activities, they must be held separately
•
from the Department of Justicc funded program, and customers or beneficiaries cannot be compelled to participate in them. The Equal
Treatment Regulation also makes clear that organizations participating in programs funded by the Department of Justice are not permitted to
discriminate in thc provision of services on the basis of a beneficiary's religion. For more information on the regulation, please see OCR's
websitc at http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/ocr/ctfbo.htm.
State Administering Agencies and faith -based organizations should also note that the Safe Streets Act, as amended; the Victims of Crime
Act, as amended; and the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act, as amended, contain prohibitions against discrimination on the
basis of religion in employment. Despite these nondiscrimination provisions, the Justice Department has concluded that the Religious
Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) is reasonably construed, on a case -by -case basis, to require that its funding agencies permit faith -based
organizations applying for funding under the applicable program statutes both to receive DOJ funds and to continue considering religion
when hiring staff, even if the statute that authorizes the funding program generally forbids considering of religion in employment decisions
by grantees.
Questions about the regulation or the application of RFRA to the statutes that prohibit discrimination in employment may be directed to this
Office. •
Enforcing Civil Rights Laws
All recipients of Federal financial assistance, regardless of the particular funding source, the amount of the grant award, or the number of
employees in the workforce, are subject to the prohibitions against unlawful discrimination. Accordingly, OCR investigates recipients that
arc the subject of discrimination complaints from both individuals and groups. In addition, based on regulatory criteria, OCR selects a
number of recipients cach ycar for compliance reviews, audits that require recipients to submit data showing that they arc providing services
equitably to all segments of their service population and that their employment practices meet equal employment opportunity standards.
•
Complying with the Safe Streets Act or Program Requirements
In addition to these general prohibitions, an organization which is a recipient of financial assistance subject to the nondiscrimination
provisions of the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act (Safe Streets Act) of 1968, 42 U.S.C. § 3789d(c), or othcr Federal grant
program requirements, must meet two additional requirements:(I) complying with Federal regulations pertaining to the development of an
Equal Employment Opportunity Plan (EEOP), 28 C.F.R. § 42.301-.308, and (2) submitting to OCR Findings of Discrimination (sec 28
C.F.R. §§ 42.205(5) or 31.202(5)).
1) Meeting the EEOP Requirement
In accordance with Federal regulations, Assurance No. 6 in the Standard Assurances, COPS Assurance No. 8.B, or certain Federal grant
program requirements, your organization must comply with the following EEOP reporting requirements:
If your organization has received an award for $500,000 or more and has 50 or more employees (counting both full- and part-time
employees but excluding political appointees), then it has to prepare an EEOP and submit it to OCR for review within 60 days from the
date of this letter. For assistance in developing an EEOP, please consult OCR's website at http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/ocr/eeop.htm. You
may also request technical assistance from an EEOP specialist at OCR by dialing (202) 616-3208.
If your organization received an award between $25,000 and $500,000 and has 50 or more employees, your organization still has to prepare
an EEOP, but it does not have to submit the EEOP to OCR for review. Instead, your organization has to maintain the EEOP on file and .
make it available for review on request. In addition, your organization has to complete Section B of the Certification Form and return it to
OCR. The Certification Form can be found at http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/ocr/eeop.htm.
If your organization received an award for less than $25,000; or if your organization has less than 50 employees, regardless of the amount of
the award; or if your organization is a medical institution, educational institution, nonprofit organization or Indian tribe, then your
organization is exempt from the EEOP requirement. However, your organization must complete Section A of the Certification Form and
return it to OCR. The Certification Form can be found at http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/ocr/eeop.htm.
2) Submitting Findings of Discrimination
In the event a Federal or State court or Federal or State administrative agency makes an adverse finding of discrimination against your
organization after a due process hearing, on the ground of race, color, religion, national origin, or sex, your organization must submit a copy
of the finding to OCR for review.
Ensuring the Compliance of Subrecipients
If your organization makes subawards to other agencies, you are responsible for assuring that subrecipients also comply with all of the
applicable Federal civil rights laws, including the requirements pertaining to developing and submitting an EEOP, reporting Findings of
Discrimination, and providing language services to LEP persons. State agencies that make subawards must have in place standard grant
assurances and review procedures to demonstrate that they are effectively monitoring the civil rights compliance of subrecipients.
If we can assist you in any way in fulfilling your civil rights responsibilities as a recipient of Federal funding, please call OCR at (202) 307-
0690 or visit our website at http://www.ojp.usdoj.gov/ocr/.

Abstract
The City of Miami Police Department (MPD) currently has a backlog of 1,637 homicide
cold cases. MPD seeks to review, prioritize, examine and evaluate these cases in an effort to
identify physical evidence that have potential to yield biological DNA that can be submitted for
testing. The objective is obtaining a complete DNA profile that can be entered in the Combined
DNA Index System (CODIS). It is anticipated that approximately 20% of the 1,637 total cold
cases or 327 of these cases will contain biological .DNA that can be submitted for analysis.
Through Department of Justice funding; the MPD seeks to accomplish several concurrent
goals which include: 1) to increase solvability of backlogged cold cases; 2) identify possible
links to other crimes inside and outside of the Miami jurisdiction and 3) ultimately prosecute a
greater number of these cases. Solving cold cases greatly benefits MPD as well as the entire law
enforcement community as a proactive measure which reduces and identifies potential future
crimes by repeat offenders. Often offenders do not cease comm tting crimes and many times
progress to more aggressive crimes. Arrest, prosecution and subsequent conviction of these
criminals supports the MPD mission to make Miami a place where all people can live, work and
visit safely without fear.
MPD will evaluate the productivity of this grant project by tracking cases reviewed,
evidence reviewed, .samples submitted for testing, :samplesanalyzed, the .number of profiles
entered into CODIS and the number of matches made in CODIS Additionally, all cases that
result in prosecution will be fully documented and publicized.

MAIN BODY
Statement of the Problem
The City of Miami is located in Southeast Florida, in Miami -Dade County on the
Miami River, between the Florida Everglades and the Atlantic Ocean. Known for its diverse
culture and ethnicities, it is the largest municipality in Miami -Dade County. According to the
2010 US Census, Miami's population is 399,457. Miami has a 68.9% Hispanic population, a
19.2% .African -American population and an 11.9% White population. In stark contrast tothe
vitality of the City, 25% of its residents median household income is less than $15,000 as
compared to 12% in the United States overall. It is a dense urban area of nearly 36 square miles
with a median household income of $29,621 in comparison to the average US household income
of S50,046. Twenty-seven percent live below poverty level. Thirty-three percent of .Miami
residents do not possess a high school diploma and Miami currently has a 9 % unemployment
rateas opposed to 8.2% nationwide. As the biggest municipality in Miami -Dade County, Miami
handles an average of 60 homicide cases per year, 60 sexual batteries, 800 robberies and 1,500
aggravated batteries.
DNA evidence allows police to .solve crimes that would otherwise go .unsolved. Before
its use, forensic biological .science was limited to blood typing. and other tests that could not
identify an individual contributor of the genetic material. Professor Sir Alec Jeffreys developed
the scientific basis for DNA fingerprinting in the mid-1980s. It is this unique fingerprint that
allows forensic DNA to identify specific individuals that may have contributed DNA evidence to
a crime. scene. The advent.. of DNA analysis has revolutionized criminal investigations and new
techniques continue to improve the ways in which it can be used.
4
Of course DNA is only useful in finding suspects if it can be matched to specific
individuals. The DNA Identification Act of 1994 provided the statutory authority to create a
national DNA database. The FBI oversees the national forensic DNA program which is called
CODIS, the Combined DNA Index System. There are two primary types of DNA profiles stored
in the national DNA database. The first type isconvicted offender and arrestee profiles and the
second is forensic profiles. These are DNA samples that have been recovered from crime scenes
and also from missing persons.
The CODIS wcbsite provides striking statistics regarding the significance and successof
this technology. As of November 2009 the. national DNA database contained more than 294,027
forensic DNA profiles and 7,635,428 convicted offender and arrestee DNA profiles.
In 2007 the City of Miami Police Department was awarded funding to aid in the
investigations of the department's cold :cases to determine if evidence exists that .may contain
biological DNA that can be analyzed and potentially yield a DNA profile. MPD reviewed 898
cases, 445 of them were identified as having biological evidence still existing, 133 were
submitted for review of evidence, 25. yielded full or partial DNA profiles, eight violent cold
cases were entered into the CODIS System and there was one hit; a homicide case. Although the
results that we had hoped for was not forthcoming, the grant gave us another nvestigative tool to
try and bring closure to these cases.
Proiect/Pro.gram Design and Implementation
Purpose:
The purpose and intent of our application for grant funding is to aid the City of Miami
Police Department in the investigations of the department's 1,637 homicide cold cases to
determine if evidence exists that may contain biological DNA that can be analyzed and
potentially yield a DNA profile. It is anticipated that approximately 20% of the 1,637 total cold
cases, or 327 or more of these cases will contain biological DNA that can be submitted for
analysis. DNA profiles obtained after analysis will be submitted for .entry into the Combined
DNA Index System •(CODIS) to be searched for a match against the convicted offender and
forensic data bases. Matches in CODIS could revive cold cases by providing leads to potential
suspects and establishing investigative links to other homicides or crimes in cases with identified
suspects, "no suspect" cases as well as other crime scenes. As a result of the substantial backlog
of unsolved cases many of which are decades old, DNA evidence and the CODIS data base
represent the best avenue of pursuing cold cases where investigative leads have been exhausted
and have a.diminishing probability of being solved as time goes on.
Goals:
The primary goal of this grant project is to resolve cold cases. This will be accomplished
through the careful review of cold case evidence to identify forensic DNA evidence that can be
processed through the application of current DNA technologies such as polymerase chain
reaction (PCR) and short tandem repeat (STR) analysis. MPD also seeks to identify possible
links to other crimes inside and outside of. the Miauni jurisdiction and ultimately prosecute a
greater number of these cases.
Objectives.:
The objectives of the grant project are.::
1) To review 1,637 cold cases thatare currently backlogged to identify those cases with
evidence that has the probability of containing biological DNA from a suspect or
offender.
6
2) To evaluate cases believed to contain biological DNA evidence from a suspect or
offender and evaluate the surrounding facts and information to determine case strength.
It is estimated that 20% or 327 of the total 1,637 cases will have the potential to be
submitted for DNA testing.
3) To submit all probative DNA evidence for analysis and ensure all DNA profiles
developed will be entered in CODIS and compared with local, state and national indexes.
4) To establish a tracking system to monitor and evaluate all cases reviewed, summarize
reviewed cases, list all evidence reviewed, list evidence: submitted for DNA examination,
show results of DNA analysis, track samples submitted for entry into CODIS, list CODIS
matches and list cases that can be prosecuted.
5.) To submit qualifyingcases for prosecution.
6): To provide investigative assistance to other agencies and jurisdictions in the event a
suspect or offender match is made in the CODIS data base linked to one of their
investigations.
Program Design:
To effectively utilize this grant to produce a significant . impact on thebacklog of cold
cases, the Miami Police Department will utilize a "Cold Case Team". The Cold Case Team will
draw on expertise from detectives, crime scene personnel, crime analysts, laboratory personnel,
and prosecutors who will collaborate to carefully screen cases that present the best chance of
being solved through analysis of DNA evidence. With the recent advances in the processing and
analysis of biological DNA, MPD believes that this .grant will have significant impact on our
cold case backlog with the formidable tools DNA and the CODIS data base provide. MPD is
confident that through the review of cold cases, many items of evidence that could not have been
analyzed before will be identified and provide valuable leads.
Implementation Plan:
The complexity of this grant project requires a multi -disciplinary team approach to ensure
there is a frequent and oPen exchange of information during case evaluation, examination and
investigation. All team members have extensive investigative experience and have worked
together on numerous cases therefore MPD is confident that all components of the cold case
project will integrate and function efficiently from the start. This is critical to the meeting of the
grant objectives within the 18 month grant period.
MPD's implementation plan consists of the following components:
1. Formation of "cold case team
2. Cold case screening protocol
3. Investigative guidelines
1) Formation of the Cold Case Team — The Cold Case Team will be made up of one
lieutenant (Homicide), one. sergeant (Homicide), three (3) detectives (Homicide), four

a. The Crime Analyst is responsible for conducting research on cases selected for
review by cold case detectives. Research may include obtaining background
informationon suspects identified through the investigation and require information
such as present address, employment, real estate owned, vehicles owned, criminal
background history, financial history, .family members, associates, involvement .in
litigation, new intelligence, police reports.
Administrative Officer
a. The Administrative Officer will be responsible for managing the case tracking system
which will include entering data on which cases are reviewed, suspects, witnesses,
evidence reviewed, suspected DNA evidence submitted to the laboratory, outcome for
lab submission, profiles entered .into COD'S, matches made in CODIS, outcomes i.e.,
warrants issued, -arrests made.
b. The Administrative Officer will be responsible for locating and obtaining case files
and requesting evidence to be located.
11
State Attorney
a. Evidence identified by the team with potential to contain DNA evidence will be
presented to the State Attomey to determine if the case can be prosecuted. This step
will ensure time and resources are not wasted on a case that cannot proceed.
Crime Laboratory
a. The laboratory will be responsible for conducting a review of the cold case evidence
before it issubmitted for testing. This process will include the detectives reviewing
evidence with lab personnel experienced in cold case evidence to determine and
narrow down which items are the most likely to yield DNA. The items selected, after
the final review, will .be .sentto the Miami -Dade. Police Department's Crime
Laboratory.
Z} Cold -Case Screening Protocol
Cold cases will be screened with a focus on efficiency and effectiveness to ensure
grant objectives can be achieved. The process of case screening will use the
following priorities in determining which cases will be reviewed for evidence thought
to contain DNA that can be processed.
a. Category 1 = There are no known suspects and all leads have been exhausted, but a
significant .amount of evidence has been preserved amenable to DNA testing. .
b. Category 2 — There are no known suspects, or known suspects have been cleared and
investigative leads have been exhausted but, physical evidence has been preserved
and is amenable to DNA testing..
c. Category — There are no known suspects but, physical evidence exists which may or
may not be amenable. to DNA testing..
12
3) 1nvestizative Guidelines
To ensure the investigation of cold cases is uniform, established guidelines will guide
cold case team members in all investigative stages. The investigative stages are as
follows:
a. Case File Review — Emphasis. on review of case log, review of case summary,
previously cleared suspects, witnesses (also witnesses that were unable to be located
or were uncooperative), statements (including hearsay), physical evidence, crime
scene laboratory and medical examiner reports. Determine strength of solvability
factors. A "pre screening" of cases will be conducted to identify cases in which the
cold case involved substantial physical contact by the offender and the presence of
biological DNA will be Feat, i.e., victim beaten with a weapon, stabbed, choked, or a
case that also involved a sexual battery. Additionally, cases where there are limited
chances to obtain DNA such as in a "drive -by -shooting" where the only physical
evidence is shell casings, will be screened to identify patterns that may indicate a link
to other similar cases, as in cases involving warring drug gangs.
b. Entry Into Tracking System - All pertinent case information will be entered into the
Microsoft Access Program, including: case number, date, time, location, victim
information, instrumentality of crime, evidence, witnesses and suspects.
c. Review of Evidence — Inventory of evidence, review of property receipts, locate
evidence previously tested, review forensic reports, .review crime scene reports
including scene sketches and photos.
d. DNA Evidence Identification — identify evidence containing biological material, i.e.
blood, hair, saliva, sweat, fingernail scrapings, articles .of clothing, check for items of
13
evidence that may not have been tested because technology was not .available at the
time.
e. Case and Evidence Evaluation — Cold case team reviews evidence and supporting
investigativedocumentation to determine of it is reasonable to believe evidence
contains DNA and should be submitted for further analysis.. Prosecutor's (State
Attomey) opinion is sought on the value and usefulness .of the. evidence to be
submitted. Consultation is made with Forensic DNA Laboratory personnel for
guidance on evidence to be submitted and .type of testing to be conducted.
f. Laboratory Submission — DNA evidence is submitted for testing at a certified
laboratory. The Miami Police .Depai tnient will submit evidence to the Miami Dade
County Police Depaiuent Laboratory, who in turn will out source evidence to a
private certified laboratory. Any evidence that results in a match will be verified by
the Miami Dade County Police Department Laboratory.
g. CODIS Entry and Search- Should a DNA profile be rendered from a submitted DNA
evidence sample, qualifying profiles will be: entered into CODIS and the profile to be
searched against local, state and national (LDIS, SDIS and NDIS) indexes.
h. CODIS Match — In the event of a CODIS match to a suspect or offender, the full cold
case team will mobilize and open a full investigation including:
i. Locationof suspect and surveillance of subject.
ii. Determine if a DNA sampleis needed from suspect.
iii. Background investigations using resources such as. FCIC, NCIC,
Computer Aided Report Entry (CARE), Criminal Justice Information
System (CJIS), Auto Track, intelligence. files, other agencies such as
14
the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, the Miami Dade County
Police Department, etc.
iv. Re -interview all available witnesses including: law enforcement
officers, family members, spouses, relationships, co-workers,
associates, business partners; defendants, inmates, etc.
v. Area canvasses.
vi. Provide photo line up to witnesses if feasible.
vii. Contact the victim's family to identify possible reasons or motives for
victimization.
viii. Crime reconstruction including revisiting the crime scene, re-
examining crime scene photos, sketches, crime scene reports,
investigative reports and detective and officer accounts.
ix. Identity additional crimes and crimepatterns through crime analysis.
x. Create a psychological profile of the suspect.
xi. Detea dine motive.
xii. Interview and/or interrogation of suspect.
xiii. Case presentation meeting with the State Attorney.

first police department in the country to ;acquire an Automated Fingerprint Identification System
(AFIS). Since then MPD has been committed to utilizing .the ariost up-to-date technology to
solve crimes.
As required by all grants, the tracking of all draw downs and expenditures will be kept
separate from all other funding. On a fiscal :Ievel, grant expenditures are reviewed by ,the City's
Budget Office for compliance and fund eligibility. Expenditures are reviewed by Certified Public
16
Accountants with experience in government finances. The Finance Department is responsible for
grants monitoring; they manage the City's accounts payable, general ledger, and prepare the
City's annual financial statement. The City of Miami will serve as fiscal agent and manages
millions of dollars in federal, state and local grants. Expenses will be handled by the Finance
Department, awarded the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting.
Management Plan and Organization:
The management of all grant program activities will be conducted by the Lieutenant and
Sergeant from the Homicide Unit, who will ensure efficiency, productivity and accountability
through the following steps:.
Lieutenant:
l) Conduct strategy review meeting with all personnel including the laboratory and State
Attorney's Office, to review grant proposal goals and objectives and outline depaitmental
expectations and requirement.
2) Conduct weekly case review and strategy meetings. The purpose of the meetings is to
review cases, track progress, and handle problematic issues, as well as provide input and
guidance on case review and evidence selection. Also, review tracking system entries.
3) Review cases on an as needed basis.
'Sergeant:
After consultation with Lieutenant, the Sergeant will assign cases based on criteria established
andresult of the team review. The Sergeant will ensure that:
1) Detectives enter all case .information in Access. Program .to begin tracking process.
Sergeant will verify weekly, that all template information is entered.
17
2) Detectives complete investigative reports as information is developed (301 s). Sergeant
will review 301s to determine progress on the ease.
3) Detectives follow investigative "checklist" and checklist will become part of the
investigative file.
4) Detectives, with aide of the Crime Scene Supervisors, submit evidence for DNA testing
to laboratory. Repacking of evidence, contamination issues are addressed
5) Detectives track evidence submitted to the lab and obtains outcome of laboratory test.
Sergeant will also be responsible for the following:
1) Ensure that Crime Scene Investigators are assigned to review case files. Crime Scene.
Investigators assist in locating,. reviewing and evaluating evidence.
2) Ensure Crime Analyst is assigned to .conduct research on selected cases.
3) Ensure that the Administrative Officer is assisting with data entry, logging and
maintaining investigative reports, file location, maintaining grant statistics and other
administrative tasks necessary for the efficiency of the grant project.
The Sergeant will be the point of contact for the Miami Police Department's Budget Unit and
Grants Detail and will be responsible for responding to requests for fiscal and performance
reports and supporting documentation.
Impact/Outcomes and Evaluation
Successful completion of the project will result in a 20% reduction of the MPD 1,637
backlogged cases. MPD will evaluate the productivity of this grant project by tracking cases
reviewed, evidence reviewed, samples submitted for testing, samples analyzed., the number of
profiles entered. into CODIS and the number of rnatches made in CODIS. Additionally, all cases
18
that result in prosecution will be fully documented and publicized. MPD will also track cases
linked to other jurisdictions.
The evaluation of MPD's Cold Case .project will be used as an ongoing management and
learning tool to improve the organization's effectiveness. Monitoring will provided the raw data
needed to conduct evaluation of the Cold Case project in order to demonstrate its achievement of
results. MPD's periodic process of gathering data and then analyzing it in such a way that the
resulting information will be used to determine whether MPD is effectively carrying out planned
activities,and the extent to which it is achieving its stated objectives and anticipated results.
Implications for criminal justice practice
As one example, an MPD, cold case detective reviewed the case of a.young woman found
nude, possibly raped and deceased. There were no leads in this case that were •significant enough
to identify a suspect. The Detective sent this case for DNA analysis and the Miami -Dade County
laboratory found a DNA profile. That profile was entered into COD'S and there was a hit. The
Detective is currently following this lead in an attempt to solve this murder. Funding for the
investigation of heinous crimes such as this is critical.
Performance Collection Measures
Case management will be conducted through the use of the Microsoft Access Program
which will allow for data entry and .data linkage as well as the ability to screen for specific
information. Only cold cases being reviewed will be entered into this program. The Access
template will contain screens for the following information:
a. Date/Time of crime
b. Address of incident
c. Original investigator
19
d. Cold case investigator
e. Cross reference to other cases
f. Victim's name, date of birth, sex, race, country of origin
g. Witness information
h. Suspect information
i. Evidenceinventory
j. Description of evidence
k. Description of evidence submitted for DNA analysis, date submitted
1. Chain of custody
rn. Result of DNA analysis and date
n. Date submitted into CODIS data base.
o. Results of COD1S search Hit or No Hit, type of Hit, convicted
offender or forensic. (the. Miami Dade County Police Laboratory will
provide a report documenting submissions and test results)
p. Case outcome — submitted for prosecution.
Data for required performance measures will come from Miami Police Department
program records. Data collection and .analysis will be:led .and supported by MPD data analysts.
Data will be regularly monitored via meetings with agency personnel. Measures of
implementation progress will be collected and maintained. Ideas, problems encountered, and
identification of solutions to impediments will be regularly assessed.

Budget Narrative
Funds from the United States Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs, National
Tnstitute of Justice will allow the review of case files and evidence by the City of Miami Police
Department (MPD) Cold Case Team. It is estimated that 20% of the entire cold case backlog of
1,637 cases .that may provide DNA evidence that can be analyzed The budget also provides
funding for support personnel who as Cold Case Team members will assist in the evidence
review process and investigative process. Funds that have been set aside for travel are based on
the past experience of detectives who anticipate a number of witnesses and suspects identified
from investigations will have relocated. The purchase of laptop equipment will enable detectives
to efficiently enter case information as well as investigative notes and reports from remote
locations into the tracking system. Other equipment and supplies will be used to obtain hard
copies of information from files to be input electronically for rapid access, review and
presentation.
This much needed funding will enable detectives to work 8 hours per week for 48 weeks
in the first year and 24 weeks in the first six months of the second year of the grant (72 weeks
total) on an overtime basis. The 72 week period was calculated based on a grant period of 18
months (1.5 years) with deduction for time spent for departmental training, vacations, court and
illness. MPD has allocated time for location, retrieval and organization of cold case files
currently in storage.
After consulting with the Miami -Dade County Police Department regarding testing of
DNA evidence samples, it was determined that the Miami -Dade Laboratory will review the
evidence and assist with the identification of samples most likely to yield DNA profile. The
Miami -Dade laboratory personnel will then outsource MPD evidence samples to an outside
Revised 7-19-2012
laboratory for testing. Miami -Dade County Forensic Laboratory staff will make all entries into
CODIS, identify DNA matches in CODIS and certify DNA hits. Additionally, the laboratoryhas
advised MPD that statisticalreports will be supplied for all evidence analyzed.
Miami -Dade County currently outsources DNA analysis to The Bode Technology Group,
Inc., a Delaware corporation. The City of Miami had an existing Services Agreement with The
Bode Technology Group, Inc. which initiated on October 1, 2008 as part_ of the MID previous
Solving Cold Cases Grant Award # 2007-DN-BX-K123. Miami -Dade County continues to
utilize the Bode Group therefore if funded; the City would negotiate a new Services Agreement
with The Bode Technology Group, Inc.
The amount of compensation payable by the City to Bode for all services performed is
approximately two -hundred ($200.00) per sample. All expenditure of grant fiords will be
monitored by the Miami Police Department's Budget Unit, which functions under the Business
Management Section, commanded by a Police Budget and Finance Manager who reports to the
Deputy Chief of Administration
