The Office of Community Investment on behalf of the City Manager's Office, in
partnership with the Miami Police Department, will enter into an agreement with Big
Brothers Big Sisters, Inc. for The Bigs in Blue program for a total amount not to exceed

Miami can have a positive engagement with police in schools or in the community. The
Bigs in Blue program currently has 45 at -risk youth ("Littles") who are matched at over
10 different elementary schools with a police officer ("Big") for a one -hour one-to-one
mentoring session each week. In addition, BBBSM will engage Bigs and their Littles
through complementary program activities (to include workshops focused on themes
such as Conflict Resolution and Trust Building) which will be conducted at the Carnival
Center for Excellence. Based on the signature one-to-one mentoring model, Bigs in
Blue promote regular interaction with our community's day-to-day heroes which
positively influences the behavior of our Littles to build a strong, trusting relationship,
helping him or her become a rising star.
