This is primarily a training project with the objective of fielding a force. of police officers interested in promoting the non-violent climate necessary for the exercise of the constitut- ional freedoms of free speech and lawful assembly during the National Political Convention on Miami Beach in July 1972. We have reason to anticipate the presence of a large number of liberal oriented political groups intending to demonstrate and protest. The groups have a broad range of philosophies of dissent, from peaceful to violent. The training is calculated to provide our police officers with a range of understanding and a range of response capabilities also from mild control tactics to use of force according to its actual need, not its inaccur- ately perceived needs. This project does not provide training in use of deadly force and does not include requests for deadly force hardware. The training is focused upon the application of psychosocial skills and understandings to prevent escalation to violence and the application of non -deadly response methods in the event of violent and unlawful behavior. .The Project Goal. is to help promote a national convention without incidents of violence that escalate beyond manageable proportionsle CITY OF MIAMI.

A number of unfortunate conditions exist or are developing which, in combination, predisposes the City of Miami to the possibility of major civil disorder during July 1972. Briefly, these condit- ions include: (1) A neighboring city, Miami Beach, is hosting the Democratic Political Convention, (2) This convention is attrac ting thousands of dissenting groups, some with peaceful past per- formance history but many groups have a history of past violent behavior. We must, from this, predict future violent behavior, (3) This is the core city of a metropolitan area with our own blighted area, discontented minority groups and the worst history for violent crime in the U. S., (4) A huge security force at the convention site will preclude violent dissent there, so history may well normally repeat itself and the violent factions will come to Miami to dissent, (5) Due to our need to control violent crime and improve relations with our minority groups, training has been focused upon these objectives. We are just beginning to see beneficial results in actual improvement of crime conditions, and now we are faced with a crisis for which we have not had the time or resources to prepare, and (6) Miami Police have not had trainin in psychological response, unarmed response or non -deadly weapons.. response to mass violence. This project consists of an emergency crash program' to provide the training necessary to prevent or con trot major conflagration idrr.;.5j,m3g.oku.3uIr3972.

A. Personnel i. Salaries 1. (1) Police Major (50% of time) $5,143.00 The Police Major will be Project Manager. He will admin- istrate the grant implementation and will be responsible for coordination of all elements toward successful project completion and evaluation. (Grantee Funded) 2. (1) Police Captain (100% of time) $8,910.00 He will be responsible for structuring all aspects of the training program and the project evaluation report. (Grantee Funded) 3. (1) Steno Clerk (Steno II) $4,056 This Steno Clerk will perform the clerical duties for the Project Manager and his assistant. This will entail the ability to take dictation, handle correspondence reports and a myriad of other abilities to aid in the successful completion of the project. The Steno Clerk will also be assigned to the Project Evaluation team for compilation of the Evaluation Report. (LEAA Funds Requested) 4. (25) Police Personnel (Disorder Response Workshop - 40 hours) $10,066.00 The purpose of this workshop will be threefold; a. To establish the objectives and content of the Disorder Response Training. b. To promote superior presentation methods of courses through consultation with specialists. c. To organize and establish guidelines for a Project Evaluation Team. The personnel attending this workshop will be administrators, middle managers and instructors directly concerned with the project. The Miami Police Department will fund the follow- ing participants in the workshop at one and one half times the regular hourly rate: Position Number Overtime Rate Hours Total Majors 2 14.77 40 1, `I82 Captains 2 12.79 40 1,023 Lieutenants 6 10.63 40 2,551 Sergeants 15 8.85 40 5,310 $ 10,066 5.

There will be 10 sessions of 24 hours each presented to the personnel of the Operations Division. Miami's high crime rate and a police manpower shortage makes it imperative that the training sessions be conducted "off -duty." Miami presently has the number one crime rate in the nation according to the Uniform Crime Report for 1971. There are 745 police positions budgeted for the Department in 1972, but only 717 have been filled. It is requested that LEAA fund the following personnel who will attend the Disorder Response Training at one and one half the regular hourly rate.

(11) Employees (Project Evaluation Team) $13,318.00 The performance of the trained project personnel will be judged in the light of either a National Political Convention or a civil disorder. Representatives from various areas of the police department will pool their talents to produce an "in-depth" report on the department's effectiveness in deterring or controlling civil disorders. LEAA Grantee Contribution Salaries $ 49,888.00 $ 39,237.00 20% 9,978.00 7,847.00 Total $ 59,866.00: 47,084.00 B. Professional services (personal services on a fee basis). i. Special Instructor Fund - $600.00 The forty hour Disorder Response Workshop is designed to upgrade the entire training, performance and evaluation aspects of this project. It is estimated that $15.00 per classroom hour will be needed as an instructor fund. It is requested that LEAA fund The Miami Police Department will bear the cost of the Project Evaluation Tearm's salaries. six lieutenants will be committed (50% of their time) for three months at a cost of $11,619.00. Identification technicians will be needed in order that audio and visual documentation of performance can be compiled. It is estimated that five 1. D. technicians will be needed for 48 hours.a piece at a cost of *1,699.00. ii. Employee benefits The pension, insurance and workmans compensation computed at the rate of 20% for the LEAA support and Grantee Contribution is out- lined as follows: 3 (a) ii. Consultants-$500.00 The thrust of this project is to channel the police response to dis- disorders into non -emotional objective responses. In order to accom- plish these high ideals an understanding of the demonstrators is necessary. The understanding of human behavior and the confidence in one's abilities to cope with this behavior is the key to inhibiting over -reaction. It is estimated that approximately five days of con- sultation with experts in the fields of human behavior and crowd con- trol tactics will be needed to lay a solid foundation for the project. It is requested that LEAA fund these consultants at $100.00 per day. COnsultan'b•cost per day $100.00 Number of days 5 Total $500.00 C. Travel (Consultant)-$275.00 0ur nation's Capital is the center of new concepts. Many factions in Washington D.C. wish to draw attention to their views by staging rallies and. demonstrations. The Washington D.C. Police are probably the most experienced and capable contingent in dealing with large scale demon- strations. it is contemplated that a consultant on crowd psychology and control will be sought in the Washington D.C. area. The travel expenses of the proposed consultant from that require LEAA funding. i. Round trip travel from Washington D. C. ii. Two day per diem ® $25; subsistance D. Equipment $ 29,300.00 The confidence to control stress siutations with minimal force from the peaceful demonstration to the "all-out" civil disorder must emanate from experience or training. Training is the less expensive method, both mon- etarily and socially, of building the policeman's confidence. i. The training envisioned for this project will be a continuum from controlling individuals to controlling disorderly crowds. To ac- complish these objectives it is requested that the following equipment be funded by LEAA: Item Unit Price Total Police -Baton Protective Training Sets $ 85.50 $ 2,137.50 Police Training Batons 3.00 75.00 Short Wooden Batons 1.25 31.25 Long Wooden Batons 2.50 62.50 Transparency and Stencil Maker 3M Model 578 275.00 IACP Sight/sound II Projector 350.00 this expense so that this project can be of the utmost quality.

I. GOALS In July of this year, a national political convention will convene on Miami Beach, a neighboring city. We know that sites of national conventions have become, in the past few years, the focal point for mass demonstrations by an ever growing number of groups with as many different philosophies of how to bring about change as there are different groups. The philosophies range from peaceful and orderly exercise of the constitutional rights of free speech to efforts to bring about change instantly by violence and revolution. Intelligence reports and news media accounts reflect that most of these groups, peaceful and violent, will be represented here in July 1972. We know from a previous convention (1968) that when those prone to vio- lent methods found out that a huge security force made violent demonstration unlikely at the convention site they created a riot here in Miami instead. Conditions are even more favorable for civil disorder of much greater magnitude in 1972. A police agency faced with a broad range of demonstration tactics and philosophies must have an equally broad range of response capabilities, for if the police response is inappropriate for the degree of force actually required, the police action itself could create escalation and start the chain reactive group dynamics that foster major conflagration. The Miami Police Department, faced with the greatest crime problem in the U. S., has found it absolutely necessary to concentrate all of its resources toward a solution of this violent crime. We have just started making progress toward solution of this problem and now find ourselves facing the great probability of major disorder only a few months away. Since all training commitments have been focused upon the #1 crime problem, we have ten percent of operational personnel in classrooms now. We cannot afford to further deplete the operational force by additional on duty training time in civil disorder training. Such training must establish a force having a response capability range from verbal persuasion, psychological coercion, unarmed physical control, non -deadly weapon response, to use of deadly weapons as a last resort. Unfortunately our depart- ment is not trained in the non -deadly response or the psychological "iv.+ I'. T 11 T\T T1.l 0,1113.11.1.11.0.1 Tnrrem DriniTRR - 1(479. response methods; therefore, we have a very limited response capability to successfully control the anticipated civil disorder. These con- ditions establish a need for emergency relief to provide the necessary training on off -duty time to quickly correct these adverse conditions. We consider this a request for emergency relief. GOAL SUMMARY 1. Creation of an atmosphere conducive to the uninhibited exercise of the constitutional rights of free speech and assembly by those who come for that purpose. 2. Prevention of major disorder. 3. Provide police personnel with a broader range of response to be consistent with the broad range of dissent methods from peaceful to violent. Danger lies in inaccurate perception of hostility by the police or demonstrators in the interpretation of behavior. BACKGROUND All training for the past several years has been focused upon two major priorities, (1) control of the worst crime problem in the U. S., and (2) improvement of police citizen relationships (with crime control also as a secondary objective). There simply has not been time to include training and preparation for large scale civil disorder/ Although we have long range plans for such training, we cannot afford to deplete patrol strength beyond the ten percent already committed to crime control training without jeopardizing the gains that are only now beginning to materialize in a reduction of violent crime. Yet we are not prepared by training or resources to cope successfully with ' large scale disorder. The conditions below reflect the need for emergency relief: (1) Miami is the core city of this metropolitan area with most of the blighted areas and discontented minority groups that are easily triggered under the stimulus of group dynamics created when other groups demonstrate violently. (2) There are a:number of militant organizations headquarted in Miami, usually in the same impoverished areas. We know they are quick to take advantage of any spontaneous group violence to escalate it into a major riot. (3) The convention site will be controlled by extensive security measures which will encourage the most disorderly of the demon- strators to come to this city where there will necessarily be fewer restrictions since a large part of our force is committed to convention security as part of a mutual aid plan. (4) Our police have little experience in preventive response tactics and use of non -deadly response measures to violence. 6 (a) rs m 71T .'Tyif Tnrcm P DaTRC ,_ 1972. Our police at the current stage of training are better conditioned by training in the use of deadly force than in use of non -deadly force. This could be an important factor in the manner of response during emotional stimuli. II. IMPACT AND RESULTS 1. What will the project achieve? If the proposed training is successful it will promote the non- violent climate necessary for the exercise of the right to dissent, encourage free speech, the right to petition and lawful assembly without fear of these acts being interpreted as hostile. It will do this by providing our police officers with a range of response tactics from mild control tactics to use of force according to its actual need not its improperly perceived needs. Since we already have more experience and training in maximum force tactics, we are not including this level of training in this project. By developing such an atmosphere of freedom and a police service with a non-violent range of response, free of stress due to unreal- istic fears, we believe the ultimate objective will be achieved, "A national politital convention peacefully carried out in a neigh- boring city without incidents of violence that escalate beyond manageable proportions in our city." 2. What will be the ultimate impact on law enforcement activities? The initial impact beyond the effect on the national convention will be to train a large part of the Miami Police Department in the most advanced police concepts available. We will promptly follow-up by presenting the same course to 100% of Miami Police personnel which will in turn produce a crime prevention, service oriented police service which will hopefully have such significant impact on crime control efforts that we will drop well below the present #1 position in the Uniform Crime Reports.

Complete last of the 24 hour courses Thirteenth Week J. Organise operational force and turn over to Patrol Commander 2. Activate evaluation team and turn over to team commander B. Methods: 1. ,Type of training a three day (24 hours) program consisting of lecture, demonstration, role playing and motor skills learning methods. 2. Outline of curriculum (attached). 3. Estimated number of trainees - total of approximately 300 sworn personnel. 4. Number of course presentations - ten three-day courses (10 weeks). 5. Teaching materials will include 16 mm films, overhead projector transparencies, printed handout materials, 35 mm slide programs::. C. Curriculum Development Methods 1. Program development - conferences. These conferences with consultants in the three major areas to be covered: psychosocial, tactics, and liberal group orient- ation, will result in initial data, course material and methods of instruction to be evaluated in a work shop for final curri- culum selection. 2. Instructor cadre workshop. This will be the means of final selection of course content and teaching methods. Then structuring the schedule and course outline and so forth. Instructors will be selected because of demonstrated expertise in the areas to be taught. 3. The final course will be in three major sections under the guidance of the following consultants: Psychosocial Area - Under guidance of behavorial scientists from the University of Miami who have been doing a great deal of research on the psychosocial problems of the police service. Operational Tactics - Under the guidance of a consultant with special expertise in disorder prevention and control of violent disorder by minimal use of force. Liberal Group Orientation - Under the guidance of a consultant with close relationships as to the philosophies and demon- stration and dissent tactics of a wide range of political groups. The consultant should be able to bring in representatives from the leadership of the groups that will be demonstrating during the convention. By knowing what they intend to do we will be in a better position to anticipate behavior and interpret it more accurately.

EVALUATION One of the handicaps in evaluating the Miami riot of 1968, was insuffic- ient data due to lack of an organized data gathering team during and after the riot. Subsequent "investigations" by various agencies then reached conclusions based on conjecture rather than valid data evaluat- ion. Some were favorable and some unfavorable but none were scientific. For these reasons we are structuring a team of sections of the Police Department and civilian the Greater Miami Coalition. All data records will be maintained for review. We will stress objectivity. 1. Project Evaluation Team A. One Lieutenant from Homicide Detail (casualty data) B. One Lieutenant from Strategic Intelligence Unit (intelligence data) C. One Lieutenant from Community Relations (citizen involvement) D. One Lieutenant from Patrol Section (police interviews) E. One Lieutenant from Internal Review (citizen complaints) F. One Lieutenant from Training Detail (corrective training) G. One representative from Greater Miami Coalition (objectivity control) H. One representative from Crime Scene Search Unit (physical evidence) 2. Methodology A. Crime Scene Search Unit will start photographic coverage in the embryo stages of any developing problems and of control measures taken whether disorder or violence is a factor or not. They will also gather other physical evidence such as fire bomb specimens, literature,and will make records regarding time and place of such photos and evidence. B. Homicide Unit (casualty control teams) will maintain records on casualties as to causes, tactical situation, names of persons involved and so forth. C. Community Relations Section will gather data from interviews of opposing parties or agencies critical of police conduct, tactics, etc. 6 (d) investigators from key investigator (s) from and evaluation results the need for scientific Miamifor the ORANGE BOWL STADIUM - JOIST REPAIRS - 1972. D. Patrol Section will conduct interviews of police officers having significant data regarding confrontation and operational problems. E. Greater Miami Coalition representative will serve as a control by auditing the entire data gathering and evaluation process. 3. Documentation Interna). Review Section will serve as the central depository for all data and produce a completed report withing three months follow- ing termination of the convention. All of the above data will be compiled, evaluated, conclusions arrived at and fully documented for review by any authorized persons or agencies. Weaknesses found in the training, performance, tactics, philosophy and so forth will be fully documented so the training detail can initiate corrective training programs as soon as possible. V. RESOURCES The principle human resources will be the three consultants in the training specialties. The position in project, specialized knowledge, and experience requirements are: 1. Psychosocial Response Training We are considering Professor Parke Fitzhugh of the Center for Urban Studies, University of Miami, as one consultant in this field. He has done a great deal of research on police behavior and has trained a significant number of Miami and Dade officers in behavorial aspects of new police concepts. We are also considering a psychologist, Peter A. Keller of the University of Miami Department of Psychology, for part of this consulting service. He just completed a research project which has been documented as "Psychosocial Problems of Police." He is working with the Miami Police Academy on another research project to develop a psychological test specifically to measure a police officer's potential for violence. 2. Operational Tactics We have not selected a tentative candidate as consultant in this area yet. We are looking for a person who has had actual field experience and success at handling civil disorder by non -deadly force methods. We need some practical demonstration methods with a high degree of potential for successful application. We are considering various personnel who have been associated with the Civil Disturbance Orientation Course for the U. S. Army Military Police School (SEADOC). 3. Political Group Familiarization We are looking for a person who is interested in and familiar with the various philosophies and methods of dissent of those groups who we expect to be here during the convention. We believe most of these groups intend to use lawful dissent methods. If our police officers get a chance to have meaningful dialogue with representatives from these groups there will be much less oppor- tunity for misunderstanding. 6 (e) Miami for the ORANGE BOWL STADIUM - JOIST REPAIRS - 1972. We are thinking of using a representative from a local group serving as a coalition to assist a number of the liberal groups coming to the convention in such things as housing, food, child care, etc. Interviews have been scheduled to evaluate qualifications of possi- ble consultants. 6 (t) I L,GOU:,YZUT TO .a - 1- Miami for the ORANGE BOWL STADIUM - JOIST REPAIRS - 1972.
