ANALYSIS
A Field Force Unit is a select and specially trained unit designed to provide a rapid, organized,
and disciplined response to civil disorders, crowd control episodes, or other emergency
situations. The goal of such a unit is to maintain or restore public order in the safest and most
efficient way.
The police departments of several municipalities, each having their own Field Force Units, have
decided to join together and create a multi jurisdictional unit known as the Miami-Dade County
Island Chiefs Regional Mobile Field Force Unit (Regional Field Force Unit) intended to provide
for operational assistance across jurisdictional lines within Miami-Dade County, Florida.
The goal is to join forces for a more efficient use of powers and resources in order to provide
higher quality of law enforcement services to the public. More specifically, members of the
Regional Field Force Unit, who would participate in common trainings, could request and render
law enforcement assistance, utilizing their Field Force Units, to the other participating agencies
during major spontaneous incidents, special events, or other law enforcement emergency
situations necessitating assistance reasonably necessary to avoid or quell a major calamity
affecting the safety of persons or property within Miami-Dade County, Florida.
The following agencies have agreed to join this Regional Field Force Unit and, have given the
authority under Part 1, Chapter 23, Florida Statutes, "the Florida Mutual Aid Act," are ready to
execute the attached Miami-Dade County Island Chiefs Regional Mobile Field Force Multi-
Agency Operational Assistance Mutual Aid Agreement. Additional agencies may join this
Regional Field Force Unit at a later date by signing the agreement.
