the Omni Redevelopment Area ("Area") in accordance with the 2019 Omni CRA
Redevelopment Plan ("Plan"); and
WHEREAS, Section 163.335 of the Community Redevelopment Act of 1969 (the "Act")
states that the existence of slum and blighted areas greatly contributes to the spread of disease
and crime, causing economic and social burdens to the community, thereby negatively affecting
the tax base and impairing sound growth within the community; and
WHEREAS, Section 163.340(23) of the Act further provides a means for community
redevelopment agencies to address crime through "community policing innovations," which is
defined as "a policing technique or strategy designed to reduce crime by reducing opportunities
for, and increasing the perceived risks of engaging in, criminal activity through visible presence
of police in the community, including, but not limited to, community mobilization, neighborhood
block watch, citizen patrol, citizen contact patrol, foot patrol, neighborhood storefront police
stations, field interrogation, or intensified motorized patrol"; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Commissioners of the CRA has authorized funding for several
prior community policing innovation programs within the redevelopment area, including the
Police Visibility Pilot Program, the ShotSpotter, the CRA Police Camera Pilot Program, and
Enhanced Policing Services; and
WHEREAS, the CRA, through Resolution Nos. CRA-R-23-0052 and CRA-R-25-0016,
previously adopted and funded the allocation of funds to the City of Miami ("City") for the
establishment and continuance of enhanced policing services and additional safety measures to
be provided within the CRA boundaries ("Program"); and

Program have been depleted, and additional funding is necessary to continue providing these
critical services within the redevelopment area; and
