ection 2: Pro'ect Overview
General Project Information
Project Title: CITY OF MIAMI BEACH'S COVERT OPERATIONS EQUIPMENT
Subgrant Recipient: City of Miami Beach
Implementing Agency: City of Miami Beach
Project Start Date: 10/1/2016 End Date: 9/30/2017
Problem Identification
The City of Miami Beach is a coastal resort in the southeastern part of Florida. It has an estimated
residential population of over 91,000 residents (U.S. Census, 2013), however, the actual
population is estimated to be approximately 300,000 due to the high number of tourists and
attendees at special events (approximately 260 days per annum)e.g. Memorial Day Weekend.
The visiting population, and many of the Citys residents who are new to the area, are particularly
vulnerable to crime. The City has almost double the crime rate of the City of Miami (Florida
Department of Law Enforcement statistics) relevant to its residential population. In addition, UCR
data for 2015 lists the overall crime rate per 100,000 residents at 10,929. No other law
enforcement agency in Miami Dade County that serves over 15,000 residents deals with this level
of crime. Drug-related crimes are one of the main crime issues the City faces. These fall into three
main groups: drug dealing, drug possession and acquisitive crime. This is a serious issue for the
City of Miami Beach, and its Police Department is therefore committed to tackling it in order to
make its residents and visitors safer. If the funding request is successful, the JAG project will
significantly increase the Miami Beach Police Departments (MBPDs) capability and capacity to
tackle drug-related crime. Without the funding requested to purchase the documented items the
problem will persist or become more difficult to control.
Project Summary (Scope of Work)
The MBPD conducts a multitude of operations to target drug related crimes in the three categories
(drug dealing, drug possession and acquisitive crime). The MBPD recently acquired covert
personal equipment to enable the gathering of evidence in proactive operations and to ensure
chain-of-custody integrity. Previously, the MBPD relied upon officer and witness testimony to
provide the evidence required for arrest and prosecution; however, while this is effective, it is also
time consuming and, on occasions, is subject to vigorous challenge in judicial proceedings. The
equipment purchased included two (2)Wireless/Cellular Audio Transmitter/Receiver Covert
devices for use by officers involved in undercover drug and drug related operations. The devices
have been extensively field-tested by undercover(UC)officers and their response is unanimously
positive. Although it is very early in the use of these devices, the MBPD would like to build on the
positive findings to date by purchasing complementary equipment. Grant funds will pay for a
remotely operated, covert listening device and the following ancillary equipment: RF transmitter
(1/2 watt), Synthesized Audio Intelligence Receiver(with recorder)and a Repeater. The proposed
equipment will broaden the evidence-gathering spectrum of MBPDs covert operations and support
its fight against all drug related crime. The proposed equipment will help
to provide:
1. A remotely operated, audio, evidence-gathering record of conversations-thereby providing
irrefutable evidence of nefarious activity.

2. An enhanced intelligence-gathering capability to assist detectives in targeting the criminal chain
e.g. drug importers, handlers, suppliers and buyers.
In summary, the devices will enhance the MBPDs current capability to tackle drug crime (of all
sorts), to improve the evidential chain and also significantly increase the MBPD?s intelligence
gathering capability.
Jag funds will purchase the items listed in the budget narrative.
Documentation will include purchase orders, invoices, shipping receipts and proof of payment.

the work authorized under the Federal award. The Federal awarding agency or pass-through entity must include start
and end dates of the period of performance in the Federal award (See 2 C.F.R. §§200.210(a)(5),"Information

documentation;or 3)where the costs incurred appear unreasonable and do not reflect the actions a prudent person
would take in the circumstances.
Simplified acquisition threshold means the dollar amount below which a non-Federal entity may purchase property
or services using small purchase methods. Non-Federal entities adopt small purchase procedures in order to
expedite the purchase of items costing less than the simplified acquisition threshold. The simplified acquisition
threshold is set by the Federal Acquisition Regulation at 48 C.F.R. Subpart 2.1 (Definitions)and in accordance with
41 U.S.C. § 1908.As of the publication of this part, the simplified acquisition threshold is$150,000, but this threshold

Subaward/Subgrant means an award provided by a pass-through entity to a subrecipient for the subrecipient to
carry out part of a Federal award received by the pass-through entity. It does not include payments to a contractor or

of legal agreement, including an agreement that the pass-through entity considers a contract.
