ATTACHMENT "A"
This MOU has been jointly developed by the participating agencies in an effort to outline the
working relationship between the parties whereby the Florida Department of Law
Enforcement ("FDLE") will assume the investigations of the following events: the shooting of
a person by a Miami Police Department law enforcement officer acting in the line of duty; the
death of an arrestee while in the care, custody or control of a Miami Police Department law
enforcement officer; the death of an arrestee shortly after being in the care, custody or
control of a Miami Police Department law enforcement officer or the death of an intended
arrestee during an arrest attempt by a Miami Police Department law enforcement officer.
This MOU has been carefully developed with the active participation of each agency,
including their legal representatives with the intention of providing important transparency to
the investigations of these serious situations and will help to ensure the completion of an
objective investigative report.
A similar MOU has recently been entered into by FDLE and Miami -Dade County for the
investigation of Miami -Dade Police Department police involved shootings and in -custody
deaths.
The transparency in these investigations is important for the respective agencies who are
party to this Memorandum of Understanding, the involved law enforcement officers, victims
and survivors of victims, and ultimately, the entire City of Miami community.
