Proposal Narrative
Description of the Issue:
The City of Miam Police Department (MPD) is committed to providing greater transparency to
the residents of Miami, thereby increasing trust between law enforcement and the public. Serving
the second-largest city in the State of Florida, MPD is responsible for the safety of roughly
467,963 persons living within Miami's 36-square miles. As of March 2024, the state of Florida
ranked third in the nation for human trafficking. Out of the nearly 2,100 cases reported in Florida
in 2023, 1,627 of those cases involved children.
Because Miami is in close proximity to international borders, faces economic inequality, and is a
hotspot for tourism and leisure, it has become increasingly more vulnerable to Human
Trafficking incidents. The MPD human trafficking cases within the City of Miami are
investigated by the Human Trafficking Task Force, based in the State Attorney's Office. The
Miami Police Department assigns investigators to this task force on a full-time and part-time
basis, working in collaboration with the State Attorney's Office and neighboring jurisdictions.
Upon receiving a human trafficking case or tip through the Special Victims Unit (SVU) or patrol
operations, MPD investigators promptly notify the State Attorney's Office and provide case
details to the Human Trafficking Task force. A task force investigator then conducts a
comprehensive investigation, including direct follow-up with the victim(s) to gather additional
information. Recognizing that victims of human trafficking, particularly minors, are often
reluctant to report their victimization, detectives are immediately notified to ensure the
specialized assistance required. The vulnerability of minors, who are frequent targets of
traffickers, is taken into full consideration, especially in cases involving abandoned or missing
juveniles. Any 'hot calls' received after hours require additional assistance from either a
Sergeant, Lieutenant, or supervisor.
The current furniture utilized by MPD has become prone to wear and damage, posing safety risks
such as reported incidents of keyboard tables falling on employees' legs and frequent collisions
with the height -adjustment mechanism. These safety concerns require immediate attention.
Given that the furniture is used 24/7 in a critical emergency response setting, ensuring employee
comfort and safety is vital to maintaining the center's efficiency and functionality. The current
inadequacies not only jeopardize employee health but also hinder their ability to perform
effectively in high -stress situations. Investing in ergonomic furniture designed for continuous use
will address safety risks, enhance comfort, and improve productivity. By reducing discomfort
and potential injuries, the new furniture will support the high level of service expected from the
9-1-1 Center, making its replacement an urgent and necessary step for ensuring the center's
smooth and safe operation.
Therefore, the City of Miami Police Department will manage the "Planning, Evaluation, and
Technology Program" to use $229,450 in JAG funds to implement and support this project. The
performance measurement data will be stated in the quarterly accountability metrics reports
which will be submitted through the Bureau of Justice Assistance Performance Measurement
Tool (PMT) and JustGrants systems. The Information Technology Support Section/Special
Projects Management Unit (ITSS/SPMU) will track the completion of the project phase. The
goal of the project is to replace outdated The JAG funding opportunity will support MPD's
mission to make our city a place where all people can safely live, work, and visit.
MPD anticipates the project will be completed within the following Timeline of activities:
October 2024- January 2025- JAG award acceptance and contract execution
February 2025-March 2025- Procurement Process
• April 2025- July 2025- Furniture purchasing, installation of furniture and Task Force
activities completed
• July 2025- September 2025- Project completion
Project Design and Implementation:
The JAG funding will allow the City of Miami Police Depai tiiient to implement the proposed
project. Replacing the 9-1-1 Center's furniture and chairs is essential due to the age and condition
of the current equipment, which is over 10 years old and has exceeded its expected lifespan. This
project will replace outdated equipment that is an essentially used by the Emergency Dispatch
personnel to complete their work functions. The project will expand and improve operations
throughout MPD, enabling the department to provide better services to the City of Miami
residents and visitors. To accomplish this task, the JAG funds will be utilized for necessary
enhancements which will better provide MPD with the equipment and management resources
critical to the success of combatting crime, providing timely response, ensuring public safety,
and communication.
Additional overtime hours provided will spearhead after-hours assistance when responding to
any incoming 'hot calls', these can include but not limited to; human trafficking, sexual assault,
prostitution, or any cases needing additional assistance for lead detectives. Human trafficking
cases often require immediate, intensive investigation and coordination. Overtime ensures there
are enough officers available to respond promptly, even after normal working hours, without
leaving critical leads or victims without support. Supporting overtime is critical for ensuring that
officers can dedicate the necessary time and resources to complex and urgent crimes, enhancing
the overall effectiveness of investigations and victim care.
