ATTACHMENT
Subject: Miami -Dade Association of Chiefs of Police County Court Standby Program
In an effort to contain rising overtime costs, the Miami -Dade County Association of Chiefs of
Police, along with the State Attorney's Office, instituted the "Miami -Dade County Court Standby
Program." 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.
