District Impacted: All
Type: Resolution
Subject: FY '22-'23 Miami -Dade Association of Chiefs of Police County Court Standby
Program
Purpose of Item:
A Resolution of the Miami City Commission allocating funds in an amount not to exceed
$121,305.34 for a one-year period to the Miami -Dade County Association of Chiefs of
Police, County Court Standby Program from the Department of Police's General
Operating Budget, Account No. 00001.191501.534000.0000.00000.
Background of Item:
The City of Miami's ("City") Department of Police ("MPD") faces rising overtime costs
associated with every appearance by an officer in court. 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 Program has
greatly reduced the costs of overtime for court appearances for all local law
enforcement agencies, including MPD. 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 misdemeanor, 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. Funding from the City will assist the Association
and the SAO with expenses related to the hiring of administrative support personnel
necessary to implement the Program, thus reducing the overtime costs of Police.
