FROM: Jimmy L. Morales, City Manager

SUBJECT: Miami Beach Police Department to st Second Egyptian Law Enforcement
Delegation in February
Next month, the Miami Beach Police Department, in concert with the International
Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) and the U.S. State Department, will host a second
group of approximately 10 Egyptian criminal justice officials. The purpose of this visit is
to showcase best practices in a multi-disciplinary approach to sexual assault
investigation. The core group will include: prosecutors, victim advocates, SANE
nurse/medical, counselors, and law enforcement. An additional eight IACP
representatives are anticipated to accompany the Egyptian delegation.
The dates for the site visit are February 16-21st. All logistics for travel and
accommodations are the responsibility of IACP. However, the Police Department may
incur some ancillary costs (e.g., refreshments).
This is the second time in the past several months that Miami Beach has had the
opportunity to host this exciting partnership, and it is an exceptional honor for both the
Police Department and the City. We look forward to showcasing our professional skill in
this area of victim advocacy and criminal investigations to this international delegation.
The Mayor and Commission will have two opportunities to meet members of the
delegation -- on Wednesday, February 17th at 9:00 in the Community Room at the Police
Department, and 12 noon that day at a luncheon at Monty's Restaurant, 300 Alton Road,
Miami Beach.
If any Commissioners plan to attend the morning session or the luncheon, they should
contact Tricia Reeder at 305 673-7925, or they may contact her with any additional
questions or concerns.
