Standby Program
Purpose of Item:
A Resolution of the Miami City Commission allocating funds in an amount not to

Chiefs of Police, County Court Standby Program from the Department of Police General
Operating Budget, Account No. 00001.191501.534000.0000.00000.
Background of Item:
The City of Miami's (`City") Department of Police ("Police"), as most police departments
in Miami -Dade County, faces rising court overtime costs. The Miami -Dade County
Association of Chiefs of Police ("Association") and the Miami -Dade County State
Attorney's Office ("SAO") have implemented the Association's Court Standby Program
("Program"), which employs administrative support personnel to notify victims,
witnesses, and officers when they are required to appear in court. This system has
greatly reduced the costs of overtime for court appearances for all local law
enforcement agencies. Members of the Association are now billed based on the
proportional utilization of the services from the participating law enforcement agencies
as defined by the number of misdemeanors, traffic (including driving under the
influence), and domestic violence court cases processed through the Richard E.
Gerstein Justice Building (Miami -Dade County Courthouse) located at 1351 Northwest
12th Street, Miami, Florida. The funding will assist the Association and the SAO with
expenses related to the hiring of administrative support personnel necessary to
implement the Program.
