BACKGROUND
The United States Customs Service has monies available to assist local law enforcement
agencies in various law enforcement programso The United States Customs Service has
agreed to provide monies for paying overtime expenses for police officers assigned to the
Dade County Multi-Agency Auto The~ Task Force. This is the second year of the Police
Department's participation in this program.
The Police Department is assigning one police officer to the Task Force. Grant funds
administered by the Metro-Dade Police Departmet will pay the salary and benefits for.this
police officer. Due to the nature of these types of criminal investigations, it is presumed that
the personnel assigned will incur overtime. As such, the United States Customs Service
has agreed to fund up to $3,000 to pay for any overtime expenses incurred by the City of
Miami Beach police officer assigned to the Task Force.
There is no cash match or cost to the city.
AGENDA ITEM C-l L ."
DATE~

,
To participate, the Chief of Police must execute the "Agreement Between Treasury Law
Enforcement Agencies and Local, County and State Law Enforcement Agencies For The
Reimbursement of Expenses" agreement.
~
ANAL YSIS
Auto theft is a crime that by its nature, lends itself to jurisdictional problems for law
enforcement agencies functioning in geographic areas with multi-jurisdictional
responsibilities. In Dade County, where there are 31 separate cities and/or villages, the
investigation of auto theft, and recovery and identification of stolen vehicles is a logistical
problem. To deal with this obstacle, the Metro-Dade Police Department and several
municipal law enforcement agencies have joined together to form a Multi Agency Task
Force. The Task Force has proven to be very effective not only in its ability to cross
jurisdictional boundaries, but has enabled participating agencies to increase their
information sharing capabilities considerably. The assigned officer's salary and benefits
are being funded from a grant from the Florida Motor Vehicle Theft Prevention Authority
administered by the Metro-Dade Police Department. This Agreement is providing up to
$3,000.00 in overtime funds for that officer. Overtime is closely monitored to ensure. the
City does not incur expenses in excess of the $3,000.00 allotment administered by the
Metro-Dade Police Department.
This is the second year the Police Department has participated in this program. The City
benefrts greatly by this participation. The Police Department can enhance its efforts to
combat auto crimes by increasing its personnel and equipment resources at no cost.
CONCLUSION
The Dade County Multi-Agency Auto Theft Task Force will enhance the police
department's ability to combat auto theft by increasing the ability of law enforcement
agencies to identify trends and modus operandi; operate in various jurisdictions; and
improve chances of prosecution and conviction of person(s) involved in auto thefts.
Through their efforts, the City of Miami Beach will benefit by a reduction in the number of
.~~o thefts and its effect on its residents and tourists.
