INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Members of the City DATE: October 12, 2021
Commission
SUBJECT: Chief of Police Suspension
I have been informed by the City Manager of the suspension of the Chief of Police and
the causes of the suspension. Pursuant to Section 26 of the City Charter of the City of
Miami, the City Commission is required to hold a hearing, within five (5) days from the
date of receipt of the notice to provide an opportunity to defend the charges set forth as
the causes for the suspension.
If after a full hearing, the Commission determines the charges are well grounded, then the
commission will enter its affirmative judgment which is final. When the affirmative
judgment of the commission is entered, the suspension immediately becomes a removal,
but, if the judgment of the commission is in the negative, the suspension ceases, the Chief
of Police will be reinstated.
Pursuant to Section 26 of the City Charter of the City of Miami, I am calling a meeting of
the City Commission to be held on Thursday, October 14th, 2021 at 3:00 pm for the
purpose of hearing the causes for the suspension of the Chief of Police.
