116-1998 LTC ~ 11' Y 0 F M I A M I B E A C H CITY HALL 1700 CONVENTION CENTER DRIVE MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA 33139 http:\\ci.miami-beach.f1.us L.T.C. No. 116-1998 LETTER TO COMMISSION August 18, 1998 TO: Mayor Neisen O. Kasdin and Members of the City Commission FROM: Sergio Rodriguez City Manager SUBJECT: Enhancement of Police Operations I am pleased to provide you with the following information in response to questions that I have received from different Commissioners relative to the operations and functions of the Police Department. Police Department Strategic Plan I have included for your review a copy of the Police Department Strategic Plan for 1998. The report documents priorities for the department, and also includes the accomplishments for 1997. (Attachment A) Off-Duty Police Officers The Police Department is continually striving to be more innovative with its resources, and has formulated the following improvements in off-duty police support to the community. In the past, residents of Miami Beach have been able to hire off-duty police officers for various reasons. In order to provide a higher level of service to our citizens additional direction has been provided to off-duty police officers with respect to their job duties. . The officers who work in the entertainment districts such as Ocean Drive, Collins Avenue, and Washington Avenue can make a valuable contribution to these "high visibility" areas. However, officers are prohibited from working inside an establishment that sells alcohol. Accordingly, police officers assigned to these areas have been directed to assist in traffic and lor pedestrian control for business that sell alcoholic beverages. In this way, a certain degree of control will be established. · When a request is received for an off-duty police officer, it will now be routed to the District Captain who will articulate the duties and responsibilities that he feels are appropriate to the situation. These are reviewed by the office of the Chief of Police, and will become the controlling criteria for employment of the off-duty officer. I believe that these improvements will enhance our policing efforts and increase problem solving within the Police Department. Mounted Police Patrol Attached is a comprehensive report that provides the history of the demise of the Mounted Patrol Unit. This unit, although extremely popular from a public relations standpoint proved costly and not very efficient. (Attachment B) Police Initiatives for the North Beach Area I have attached a synopsis of North District policing initiatives to date. (Attachment C) Five-Year Overview of Current Crime Trends Attached is a report on Miami Beach Part I - crime statistics (to date). (Attachment D) Innovative Use of Resources A new Computer Aided Dispatch Unit (CAD) and Records Management System will be installed at the Police Department this year. The system will upgrade the current system of dispatching Police services as well as the system for maintaining and retrieving public records. Cost Recovery Proa:ram Earlier this year, a Cost Recovery Program was implemented to recover the investigative costs occurred by agencies. The program is structured so that claims are presented for all recoverable expenses resulting from the successful prosecution of cases involving Driving Under the Influence. Restitution is for investigative and prosecutorial expenditures only. The following items are recoverable expenses: 1) regular time expenses; 2) overtime expenses; 3) expenses incurred due to travel or prisoner transport in the course of an investigation; and, 4) miscellaneous expenses supported by receipts. I hope that this report has been helpful to you. Please contact me if you need additional information. SR:RB:JH:jah Attachments c: Police Chief Richard Barreto F:\CMGR\$ALLVUDYlMEMOISRPOLICE.

Established the direction the department is taking. We defined our mission and staff s view of important issues. Developed new initiatives for 1998. Highlighted the need to address the off-duty policy regarding night club jobs. Realized that the dept. did accomplish goals set last year. It provided needed communication among the staff. Created a team plan and measured our accomplishments. A well established set of goals for '98. We realized how important the off-duty problem was. Developed step by step procedures to accomplish major projects for the coming year. Most helpful part of the planning process was... Organizing and prioritizing our thoughts. Review of last year's accomplishments. Developing the strategic directions. Reducing the ideas to tasks and timelined them. Learning everyone's priority issues. Discussing ideas before we did the timelines. Discussing issues in a relaxed setting. Establishing a priority with off duty which has been expressed in the past but with little emphasis on our needs. Discussion and brainstorming in formulating plans or objectives. Deciding the priorities (5 responses); identifying elements for success. Gathering information, evaluating and prioritizing items. Continued, next page -28- Evaluation Topics that I wish we could have discussed more are. . . Off duty. (4 responses) Automation. (2 responses) Training. Adequate support staffing for the department. (2 responses) Performance measures Specific foals and objectives for each Division for the coming year. District plan. Department needs; less time on accomplishments. Suggestions for next steDs. . . Quarterly progress reports. City administration need to read plan for this year and past years. Follow through on tasks and ensure compliance. Revise and implement. Review draft and add information. More discussion and write it down. There was not enough time to properly list action steps for the strategic direction. This should not rushed. Meet with subordinates. Following up on all the initiatives, giving a clear picture to our personnel. Additional comments. . . Excellent, loved it, great! I was very pleased with the day. Thank you!

The cost savings associated with the elimination of the Mounted Patrol was not specifically delineated in the budget. However, a review of the unit's resources will enable us to estimate the cost of operation. At the time the unit was disbanded, Mounted Patrol was staffed with five sworn officers (one sergeant and four officers) and one full-time groom. Additionally, the unit required a separate office/stable facility that was located inside South Point Park. The unit also required a myriad of specialized equipment, including trucks and trailers (See Attached List). Maintaining the animals required the purchase and storage of miscellaneous grooming, medical and veterinary supplies and the services of a veterinarian. When compared to other units with similar functions, ie.. bike, ATV and motor units, the Mounted Patrol requires much more in terms of dedicated resources. The cost and maintenance of motorcycles, A TV's and bicycles is nominal when compared to the cost, care and maintenance of horses. Additionally, the Mounted Patrol requires the services of a full-time civilian groom and the operation of a separate facility to house the animals. The actual job performed by the Mounted Patrol officer is no different that ofa beat, bike or ATV officer. They are all very public relations oriented and perform a valuable community policing function. Horses are particularly effective for crowd control and display a more visible presence. South Point Park, Lummus Park and the beaches are areas in the city that would benefit from this type of patrol. Aside from the obvious differences between Mounted Patrol and other specialized units, there is far more down time in the Mounted unit. Horses are only able to work an average of 6-7 hours a day. Beat, Bicycle and A TV officers work a complete 10 hour shift. In the past, officers assigned to the unit had to fill in and assume the duties of the groom to cover days off. This situation took officers off the street on weekends. Considering efficiency and effectiveness, re-implementing the Mounted Patrol would be a luxury. Personnel cost alone are estimated at $242,761.45. ATTACHMENT B Page 2 Mounted Patrol Additional estimates of cost are: Vehicles, trailers 4 Horses $2500 ea. Barn Supplies Tact Supplies Officer Supplies Medical Supplies Feed Supplies Care/Maintenance $150 per month ea. horse Estimated total start-up cost, including personnel: $58,521.00 $10,000.00 $ 5,145.50 $ 4,722.00 $ 3,091.80 $ 955.00 $ 855.50 $ 7,200.00 $333,252.25 Recognizing their "public friendly image" and superior crowd control capabilities, can we support the cost of operation? Examining the decision that eliminated the unit, I can only guess that when we examined the unit's contribution to the patrol function, the cost could not be justified. p--" ATTACHMENT C . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . , . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . :::::::::::::::::::::::::::.:.:::::,:.:.:::' .................::.:::::::::::::.................,.,' :.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.;.:.:........... ....... ...i.;:;:;:iAAiiil:~::::ii!iiiiiiiiii~iieii~il~~~.:!!I:1:1:1:1:1:::;::::::::::::::::::::.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:::.:.:.:.:.:.:.:...... :::Nbifif::oisiiiof:if:::SDiirSir:1rio:/{':::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::. ))..).:::::::j:l:~!il~:;~~.~i~!lllil~II~li.:::;;II;I:::;:;; ::.;MIM~mg9H;;:;:DP9R~:flJ ....aHaNiti993M!o.;SditjJ699.\a~ZQs.e:::: . ............ .............. ................ ............... ................. ................ .................. ................. ................... ................ ................... ................. .................... .................. .................... ....................................... .......................................... .................... ....................... .............................................. ............................................................................................. ............................................... .............................................. ............................................... .............................................. ............................................... .............................................. ............................................... .............................................. ............................................... .............................................. ............................................... .............................................. ........................................... ....................................... To: Via: Assistant Chief Scarberry Major Don De Lucca \fJ . Captain L. Alamo~ February 20, 1998 From: Date: Subject: North District Policing 1997/1998 The following is a synopsis of North District policing initiatives to date: To pursue the fulfilment of our Department's Community Policing philosophy, in March 1997, the Patrol Division began the District Plan. The North Sub-station was reorganized and structured to provide Offices for all N. District supervisors, including an office for the CID detective and HUD Officer assigned to the N. District. The goal was to work closer with the community to identify and address problems on a long and short term basis and to change the N. District community's poor perception of the police. Additionally, our Department modified its patrol officers's work logs and performance evaluations to facilitate the organizational change to the community policing philosophy and began in-service Community Policing training for all personnel. +All assignments for police servIces were reduced to one form, a newly designed "Detail Assignment Form". + The implementation of a problem solving system for addressing complaints and problems in the District. A Community Policing approach which utilizes every possible resource to address problems on a short term and long term basis. This system includes assigning the problem a "detail assignment number". This file number, location, complainant and all the resources to be used to address the problem are logged on a large marker board in the N.E.S.S. Lieutenants office until it is completely addressed and all the departments have responded. The assisting departments include other Police Department units (ie, CID, SIU, STEP, Legal, etc), City Departments (ie. Code Enforcement, Public Works, Sanitation, etc.), other public agencies departments (ie. Dade County, Florida Department of Transportation, etc) and Community ATTACHMENT C liaisons (ie. North Beach Development Corporation, merchants associations, homeowners associations). When each detail assignment is "closed" or completed, the complainant is called and advised of the results. From March 1997 to December 31, 1997 there were 97 detail assignments completed. Some are still designated for "maintenance" to prevent reoccurrence. We responded to the communities concerns and addressed crimes and quality of life issues related to: homeless persons, graffiti, sexual activity in public restrooms, narcotics, prostitution, abandoned vehicles, double parking in commercial districts and commercial vehicles parked in residential areas. The complaints of problems in the District have been substantially reduced. To date there have been only 8 detail assignments in 1998. + The identification and liaison with 14 homeowners associations and area representatives. A form was created to distribute to those voicing concerns about problems, titled " Policing Services Requested Form", which is attached to the "Detail Assignment Form" when necessary. +Business District: The Bicycle Beat Officer coverage area was increased to include 65th Street to 67th Street on Collins Avenue. Every business in the district is visited by the beat Officer at least once per week. Each business has their beat officers business card with pager number and work schedule to personally address concerns of the merchants in a timely manner. A directory which includes emergency contact and alarm company information was completed by the beat officers and forwarded to PSCU. It is revised every six months. Midnight shift officers systematically check businesses in the District (as they always have done) and now leave a notification card on the door for the proprietor to know they've been there. The response from the businesses has been very positive. + The Inter-Departmental Task Force continues to meet the first Tuesday of every month at 2 P.M. at the NESS. Personnel representing many City Departments join our personnel and do a walking tour of a pre-selected area, documenting problems to be addressed by the respective departments. At the following months meeting, each department member advises what action his or her Department took to address the noted problems. Representative departments include: The City Manager's Office, North Beach Development Corporation, Public Works, Sanitation, Parks and Recreation, Property Management, Code Compliance and the Parking Department. Additionally, the community's (homeowners association members and others) representatives are invited and join the tour. + Increased patrol in gated communities in the N. District. Officers were directed to patrol the district's gated communities three times per shift, noting the detail on their daily patrol activity log and advising the dispatcher on the radio. This ensured patrolling of areas other than the "hot" spots. Homeowners Associations presidents were advised that their the guards at the gates should "log in" when police vehicles enter the island. + Uniform Patrol Narcotics Detail was conducted as part of the Departmental Narcotics Program and will continue in 1998. + In March 1997, commercial vehicles parked in residential areas were addressed through a community policing approach. Midnight shift Officers placed __ warning letters on all commercial vehicles parked in residential areas (Normandy Isle and Biscayne Beach) advising that two weeks later vehicles would be cited. More than 10 persons called the North Sub Station making inquiries. Solutions to their parking problems were recommended. These included parking alternatives and modifying the vehicles (ie. using removable magnet signs that can be removed when parked and removing ladders from van roofs) and alternatives were sought. All 27 violators complied. This program will be repeated in 1998. + Abandoned or derelict vehicles are addressed by the AOR Officer and the Motorcycle patrol assigned Officer. In December 1997 forty-seven such vehicles were towed. In January 1998, fifty- five such vehicles were towed. Other initiatives in the district included: +SIU undercover initiatives to reduce narcotics violations as part of a Departmental program. +Patrol's Traffic Enforcement Unit details which included DUI checkpoints and directed radar speed enforcement. Federal Grant Funds have been utilized in the two aforementioned initiatives. Additionally, the North District used the local media for positive articles (attached).

Miami aea<<;n IV malle prvgreaa, elll vr tne ellY mUSt move aneaa at the. same pace. ..t is time for North Beach to prosper the way other sections of the city have. And to receive the same attention other parts of the citv. have. particularly those on Normandy Isle are in danger of extinction because of the roadwork. The SunPost urges the public to try to con- tinue supporting these businesses in this trou- bled time, as much as we recommend that the public consider Nom Beach stance when looking at candidates. Last year, while Collins Avenue was under renovation and business- men were complaining, the city actually sent code enforcement to cite them for having signs saying things to the effect of "We're Still Open For Business." Not just a bad public relations move, this was terrible policy for the ci Secondly in Nom Beach is the issue of crime. The SunPost applauds the Miami Beach Police Department for their stepped- up efforts in Nom Beach. There is a clearly visible improvement in the state of the streets in Nom Beach, and the police have done a good job with acquainting business operators with their beat cops. When police advocates discuss community policing in the city, they should look to Nom Beach as proof that it can work on a preny large scale. However, o Beach remains a troubled spot, and while the police aren't the appropriate agency to deal with all of these, nevemeless, candi- dates who support the efforts to increase per- sonal security in Nom Beach have the best interest of the whole city in mind. Closely related to crime in Nom Beach is the area's social service needs. Again, this is an issue for government on other levels as well. But Miami Beach has the resources to provide services to a population - largely Hispanic - that is desperately in need. As much as the SunPost does not like to see federal govern- ment step in and take the role parents should play, it is absolutely necessary for local gov- ernment or the private sector to assist in issues of childcare, health and welfare, family plan- ning and crisis services. Ethnically and socio- economically, Nom Beach is much closer to the city of Miami than to the rest of Miami Beach. As such, its needs are many. Among other things, there are too many minors roaming the streets of Nom Beach, after dark and at inappropriate times. While enforcing the curfew is one step after a certain hour, it has no effect on a 15 year-old girl car- rying her 1 year-old brother down 7Ist Street at 9 p.m. on a weekday. This falls into the cat- egory of social services. To date, the social service plan for Nom Beach has called for renovations and upgrad- ing of residential propenies. The public must understand that this solves nothing in the big pictUre. Displacing the poor and working class of Nom Beach might make Nom For the past year-and-a-halt; the SunPost has been advocating for various issues related to Nonh Beach. From the belief that the Carillon redevelopment would go a long way toward bringing North Beach back to economic virility, to support for finding solutions to Nonh Beach's road, streetscaping and crime problems. All the while, Nom beach residents and activists continued telling the SunPost that they felt their part of town ~e bastard child of Miami Beach. ~o"w, some of the news is good. The latest information on crime in Nom Beach is rea- son for encouragement - the police are doing a good job and have convinced the SunPost of their desire to continue pursuing the problem. Along some North Beach ~eets, there are signs of businesses taking COOt. However, problems remain, and the SunPost recognizes that Nom Beach has not been the center of attention for city commis- sions in the past. In order for Nom Beach to catch up to the rest of the city in quality oflife possibilities and economic vitality, the SunPost believes the next commission must recognize it for what it is - a sleeping resi- dential and business giant. As such, it is our belief that commitment to Nom Beach revi- talization is an important issue for the public to consider when eventually deciding on who to support in Election '97. First and foremost, right-minded candi- dates should be committed to doing every- thing the city possibly can to make the road renovation and streetscaping in Nom Beach continue along unhindered and as rapidly as possible. The disaster that is Normandy Isle Streets at the time of this writing is indescrib- able. It is too easy at this moment for com- muters and residents to damage their auto- mobiles in the trenches and potholes caused by incomplete construction on 7Ist Street. Traveling, for example, from the westernmost :;: part of North Beach eastward finds COnstruc- '" non horrendous at Rue Notre Dame, Rue 'Q' Vendome, over the bridge and approaching ~ Indian Creek Drive (at this writing). The road g is under construction further east on 71 st ~ Streer, as well as sections of Collins Avenue ~ and some other streets. ~ Not only are drivers in danger from the ;. incomplete construction, but lanes suddenly o merging, ending and beginning, and ~ unmarked lanes cause yet more chaos. Of a course, much of this is out of the control of . is the city commission. .But as advocates for the ; Miami Beach public, the commission can still ~ take action to try to make this difficult period ~ of time pass as easily as possible. Businesses, -... - "- Beach eventually affluent enough to be of no more problem, but isn't a better thing to try to stabilize the existing population and not force them elsewhere. Remember that when South Beach went from dilapidated and poor- er to more affluent, there was a period of time when the two, disparate populations shared the area and the result was crime and civil dis- tress. It's a shame that so much urban policy is about "redevelopment, " which forces the poor elsewhere. A certain degree is inevitable.. But in Miami Beach, driving out those with less money is high art. Great cities, of which the SunPost grudg- ingly admits New York is one, manage to combine elements of the affluent, the poor and the working class in one urban environ- ment, living amongst each other. In the end, eo-habitation is a great equalizer which, at times, New York has shown. This is the kind of urban goal that Miami Beach should estab- lish and a network of social and community services in Nom Beach is a major step in the right direction. Lastly, environmentally, with Nom Shore Park, fairly easy parking and convenient access to the ocean, Nom Beach just might be the most eeo-friendly section of the city. The next city commission should recognize and encourage this, as previous governments had in forming the park. Highrise over-devel- opment on the waterfront is protected in part by the Save Miami Beach charter amend- ment, and by the overwhelming will of the public - and any politicians in the future who want to hang on to their jobs. There is the question of Altos del Mar still not com- pletely answer. It is the will of the people for that beautiful patch of green to remain unspoiled by development. The public has stated this in a vote, and the commission has done everything it can to circumvent the will of the people and allow construction of one of their patented residential projects there. Voters should discover where candidates stand on this issue, and remember that the public has spoken once before. Altos del Mar should be preserved as the open space that it is. It is a key component to the natural benefits that Nom Beach has to offer residents and visitors in the future. The SunPost strongly encourages the pub- lic to take into account candidates' history and stance on Nom Beach issues. For Miami Beach to make progress, all of the city must move ahead at the same pace. It is time for North Beach to prosper the way other sec- tions of the city have. And to receive the same attention other parts of the city have. BAL HARBOUR. BAY HARBOR ISLANDS. GOLDEN BEACH . INDIAN CREEK VILLAGE. MIAMI BEACH. NORTH SAY VILLAGE . SUNNY ISLES.

"North Beach is making a comeback - slowly but surely, said Brian Kraus, operations director of the freshly renovated Ocean Surf Hotel, 7436 Ocean Ter. "It's a different atmosphere now." The neighborhood is experi- encing the kind of renaissance South Beach went through a few years ago.
