Leveraging Partnerships
We will also seek out future opportunities to supplement our crime
fighting efforts by partnering with other agencies to include, but not
limited to:
Miami Dade Police Department (MDPD)
Coral Gables Police Department (CGPD)
Florida Highway Patrol (FHP)
United States Coast Guard (USCG) -maritime issues
Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation (FWC)
Additional
Considerations
A Traffic Mitigation Plan will
be utilized to alleviate traffic
concerns along the 5th
Street Corridor.
The Department has a plan,
and the ability to divert
traffic coming into the City,
during peak times should
traffic gridlock occur.
