In recent years, a series of controversial citizen and police encounters across has increasingly focused the national conversation on the relationship between police departments and the communities they serve. In an effort to be proactive and strengthen ties with our Miami constituents, the City of Miami has organized Talk It Through: Teen Community Engagement dialogues in partnership with RER Consulting, and Cultural Diversity and De-escalation training in partnership with Florida International University (FIU), Department of Communication. The focus of these efforts with the City Manager's Office, the City of Miami Police Department, the Office of Community Investment, the Parks and Recreation Department, and the Neighborhood Enhancement Team is to create ongoing open dialogues that promote positive interaction between the police officers and community members. The Talk it Through: Teen Community Engagement dialogues, which began on December 17, 2015 and continued to the middle of March 2016, have developed into engaging group sessions where the effort of building trust and developing stronger communities has begun to take effect. This is illustrated by an increased interest in policing by some students who have requested to ride along with their local Officers, and some are now interested in this career avenue. In addition to the dialogues FIU began their Cultural Diversity and De-escalation training on January 26, 2016. The FIU training provided Police Officers with communication shills to enhance their ability to communicate with the Citizens they serve. Police Officers must understand the diverse dynamics of the City of Miami and its changing demographics. Like many American cities, the lack of economic prosperity, education, housing, jobs, and immigration have a major impact on City operations. To address these issues the City of Miami sought to create an environment that assists in eliminating poverty and under- served neighborhoods while developing more self-sufficiency and economic opportunity. Police are more than individuals who enforce the lave of the State of Florida. Officers help individuals in a variety of ways daily, such as: transport Homeless to shelter; direct tourists to their destination; connect individuals in need of work to local Career Source Centers; and provide families with resources to help them. Police Officers complete tasks that exceed the general services associated with policing. The importance of these efforts and the need for strong collaborative relationships between police and local communities is underlined In the recent events of Ferguson, Staten. Island, and Cleveland. The relevance of the Police and community relationship is essential to the stability and betterment of the City of Miami. For these reasons, the Talk It Through: Teen Community Engagement Dialogues and the Cultural Diversity and De-escalation training have been collaboratively designed to strengthen the trust among the City of Miami Police Officers and the City of Miami communities. Strengthening public trust and fostering stronger relationships between Officers and Citizens while striving for effective crime reduction, safer communities, eliminating poverty and under -served neighborhoods is intertwined in the process that these partners have embarked on to better serve our community as a whole.
