Major Accomplishments of.the MBPD for fiscal 2009 /2010: • Achieved International and State Re- Accreditation status through both the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA) and The Commission for Florida Law Enforcement Accreditation (CFA). The department was Awarded the highest status' level of Re- Aceredita_tion' by CALEA, "FLAGSHIP" status. • Comprehensive plan successfully implemented for Orange Bowl Events, SUPERBOWL XLIV and the - Pro Bowl Events hosted on Miami Beach and in Miami -Dade County in February. 20.10., • Implemented the Red Light Camera Program that is anticipated to potentially generate $2 million annually: • Pursued and Awarded grants to supplant the decreased resources from the General Fund and acquire needed technology items, training simulators, and Patrol Special Units equipment. • Ensured methods were implemented to effectively manage and contain overtime expenses. • Implemented -NEW WORLD SYSTEMS Computer Aided Dispatch System, Field Base Reporting, Records Management System, Case Management System and currently implementing the - Automated Tracking of Stored Property and Evidence. • Comprehensive plans successfully implemented for Spring Break and Memorial Day Weekend Events resuhting in decreased arrests, decreased citizen complaints, and reduced' incidents.of crime. The Patrol Division managed police resources to an Israeli Solidarity Rally at the Holocaust Memorial. It was estimated that there were 10,000 supporters and up to` -2000 counter demonstrators. As a result of the MBPD measured response the` event was a success from a law enforcement perspective. The Patrol Division worked with the CID and the United States - Secret Service to secure Vice- President Joseph Biden's visits to the Fontainebleau Hotel .on March 5 & 6, and October 29, 2009. • In August of 2009, the RDA -Squad developed the Anti -Theft Beach Operation to curtail an, .increasing number of beach thefts. The plan included high. visibility patrols for prevention contact with subjects, and a- covert surveillance effort. Officers were issued bicycles as part of their undercover operation. The detail resulted in 19 felony arrests, "16 t r misdemeanor arrests and 42 field interviews. • In October, Officer Larry Marrero was awarded honorable mention for the IACP Officer of the Year for saving the life of a suicidal man who jumped into the waters off Government Cut. • The Criminal Investigations �Division achieved a 100 percent clearance of the 7 homicides committed in 2009, by either arresting or identifying all. subjects involved. This is dueto the team approach and effective use of crime scene evidence, crime analysis and effective intervi of subjects. • Various criminal investigations conducted by SIU investigators resulted in the seizure of $302,29$, 5 vehicles; 17 firearms and 10 laptop computers. 12. Future Challenges for the MBPD: • The Property & Evidence Unit is rapidly running out of space to store confiscated property and evidence. This has become more evident after an audit conducted by the Office of Internal Audit. Long -term planning has to explore more efficient storage both on and off site as well as funding. • 'Economic conditions causing a rise in unemployment in South Florida, combined with the problems associated with the housing and construction industry due to the widespread sub - prime. mortgage default rate. will likely resulf insignificant increases in crime. • Continued Major Events and high volume of Calls For Service which translates to greater public safety service demands and workload in a time of declining resources. • Maintaining acceptable Customer Service Levels with a declining level of sworn and non- -sworn personnel positions. o Maintaining optimum productivity with fewer personnel. Meeting the challenges' ssociated with sophisticated cyber crime and white collar crimes. . Minutes. of .November -l6 2010 Members present: Steven Oppenheimer Frank Kruszewski Jared Dokovna Sharon Kersten Jane Dee Gross Faye Goldin Beverly Aberbach Antonio Hernandez Jr. Dina Dissen Dov Konetz Jared Plitt Glenda Krongold Hope Fuller Nelson Gonzalez Presentation. of the 2010.Holiday Enhancement Plan /C.,rime Reduction Plan: The Police ' Department's end 'of year proactive 'initiative "Holiday Enhancement ./ Crime Reduction ". will commence on November 26, 2010 and will conclude on December 24 "', 2010. The months of November and December are traditionally busy months for City of Miami Beach as tourists from around the world transcend to our City. The intent of "Holiday Enhancement Crime Reduction" initiative is to provide an enhanced level of police. visibility and public safety throughout the city. .This, initiative is designed,to target criminals who may take the holiday shopping season as an opportunity to commit crimes on Miami Beach. As part of-this initiative, a high visibility uniformed police officer component has been added and . is directed citywide in all the business districts as well as residential areas. This component will consist of foot patrols, bicycle patrols, and both vehicle and motorcycle patrols.�The goal of this component is for the citizens, visitors, and shoppers to see uniformed. police officers in as areas as possible and'for these officers to be ready to respond to any need for assistance. In addition to the increase in uniformed officers throughout the city, an undercover proactive component will be implemented to address crimes of opportunity. These undercover officers will be directed based on daily crime analysis and information. As information is received and trends are identified, undercover officers will saturate targeted areas to apprehend criminals prior to crimes taking place. This undercover component will have the flexibility to address potential crime areas city wide: The combination of high visibility uniform presence and undercover capabilities are being implem- ented as a holistic plan to aggressively curtail criminal activity during one of our City's busiest periods and improve our visibility. This initiative will involve on -duty personnel from all divisions from within the department with a limited overtime component working together in a collaborative effort to deter crime. As we initiate our "Holiday Enhancement / Crime Reduction" plan, the police. department will continue to make every effort to proactively and irinovatively combat crime, to improve public safety, and the quality of .life for the citizens of Miami Beach.
