This program has dramatically reduced court overtime costs for all law enforcement agencies. Since the program's implementation in 1997, our department has reduced overtime costs by 50%, from $2,077,958.00 (FY `97) to approximately $1,029,403.00 (FY 2014-15). The system uses administrative support personnel to ascertain officer, as well as victim and witness, availability, allowing the State Attorney's Office to plan accordingly. Officers are notified of being placed on a "standby" basis and will only be called when needed, All police departments in Miami -Dade County are required to continue to financially support this court overtime reduction program, Funds from participating law enforcement agencies are used to hire administrative support personnel necessary to implement the Miami -Dade County Court Standby Program. Law enforcement agencies 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 NW 12th Street.
