Background Information:
The City of Miami ("City") is responsible for public safety throughout the City, which includes the
Southeast Overtown/Park West Community Redevelopment Agency district ("SEOPW CRA
Redevelopment Area"). Pursuant to Section 163.387(6)(h), Florida Statutes, "[m]oneys in the
redevelopment trust fund may be expended from time to time for undertakings of a community
redevelopment agency as described in the community redevelopment plan for ... [t]he development of
'community policing innovations'. Pursuant to Section 163.340(23), Florida Statutes, defines
'community policing innovations' by a community redevelopment agency as a "policing technique or
strategy designed to reduce crime by reducing opportunities for, and increasing the perceived risks of
engaging in, criminal activity through visible presence of police in the community, including, but not
limited to, community mobilization, neighborhood block watch, citizen patrol, citizen contact patrol, foot
patrol, neighborhood storefront police stations, field interrogation, or intensified motorized patrol."
The Southeast Overtown/Park West Community Redevelopment Agency ("SEOPW CRA") is
empowered to establish, implement, and fund community policing innovations. Pursuant to SEOPW
CRA Resolution No. 14-0069, adopted on December 29, 2014, the Board of Commissioners of the
SEOPW CRA approved the issuance of a grant in an amount not to exceed $275,000.00 to the City, for
the provision of a 'Police Camera Pilot Program' within the SEOPWCRA Redevelopment Area. In
addition to the 'Police Camera Pilot Program,' the City's Police Department has presented the SEOPW
CRA with an operational plan for enhanced police services within the SEOPW CRA Redevelopment
Area entitled "SEOPW CRA Detail" consisting of an innovative, service -oriented, and problem solving
police unit, to establish and support working partnerships with the SEOPW CRA, the Neighborhood
Enhancement Teams, residents, business owners, and the homeless outreach programs.
Pursuant to SEOPW CRA Resolution No. 15-0011, adopted on March 30, 2015, the Board of
Commissioners of the SEOPW CRA approved the issuance of a grant in an amount not to exceed
$700,000.00 to the City, to be utilized for the provision of enhanced police services within the CRA that
are supplemental to general patrol. The City's Police Department will utilize the subject grant awards,
an amount not to exceed $975,000.00, to establish and implement the 'Police Camera Pilot Program'
as well as the 'SEOPW CRA Detail' for purposes of providing enhanced community police services
exclusively within the SEOPW CRA Redevelopment Area. The SEOPW CRA authorized the grant to
be disbursed on a reimbursement basis to the City or directly to vendors upon presentation of invoices
and satisfactory documentation.
