Background Information:
The Miami Police Department continues to support the efforts of those organizations that assist the
department in its fight against criminal activities. P.U.L.S.E.'s goals and objectives are to provide
services that improve the quality of life for low to moderate income citizens of the City of Miami and
advocate for this constituency. P.U.L.S.E., through its HOTSPOT campaign, has established an
anonymous system for reporting criminal activity, as part of their crime prevention initiative.
P.U.L.S.E. is requesting funding to defray their expenses of organizing and administering the
program.
P.U.L.S.E. reported that from July to September of 2012 the HOTSPOT Campaign received 353
complaints that were addressed, which resulted in over 150 arrests and drug confiscation, promoting
law and order to many parts of the community. During 2013, the program was expanded citywide
and received approximately 51 tips from District 1, 138 tips from District 2, 86 tips from District 3, 100
tips from District 4 and 258 tips from District 5, a total of 633 tips. This monetary support is vital for
this year's expanded citywide campaign.
