AGENDA ITEM
Money laundering is a serious crime in our community. Recognizing this, HIDT A is funding this
specialized Task Force. The use of this Task Force will likely result in an increased amount of
money forfeited to the agencies involved.
The Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission adopt this Resolution in order
to allow the Police Department to continue the administration and operation of this Task Force
which benefits all of the citizens of Miami-Dade County.
