PRESIDENT
SECRETARY
Out of 35 applicants, 28 of them are currently in the process with Miami-Dade Police.
Out of 35 applicants, 9 of them have applied at the MPD before and were disqualified.
Out of 35 applicants, 13 of them reside in the City of Miami.
Out of 35 applicants, 8 are in the process with Broward agencies.
Out of 35 applicants, 26 know Miami Police Officers. Out of 26, only 6 of them were encouraged
by MPD cops to apply when we had openings.
Research shows that the best way to attract qualified applicants is by candidates that are referred by active
police officers. But, what Miami Police Officer could do that when we are not valued? So how is the
Manager planning to save the MPD and continue to hoard money instead of coming up with a long term
solution? Part time police officers!
Thats right folks. Thats the Holy Grail in saving the MPD. The Manager will attempt to force part time
hires with no benefits, no rights and no pay increases. We can then be in competition with the Sweetwater
Police Department. Then the Manager can say that we are fully staffed. Im sure a retired police officer is
going to risk it all after putting in thirty years and chase the bad guys. Its more like theyll be parked
under a tree while they laugh at our rampant crime. Maybe he should just order a bunch of mannequins
and we can start another police decoy program. There is nothing the Miami Police Department can do
internally. After observing the hiring process (which is extremely organized), they cannot do more.
Seeing that the NYPD is the largest professional police agency in the country, I reached out to them and
was told there process is at least two years from time of application to being hired. We do it in a lot less
time. The amount of pressure on the MPD to hire will only lead to another river cop scandal. Part time
officers will need to go through the same strict guidelines so nothing in terms of speed of hiring will
change. Retired Miami Police Officers will not be able to receive their FIPO retirements and there are
huge tax implications for the City. Its just another half thought out approach to silence our stakeholders
in the community.
With the Miami-Dade Police Department having 400 retirements of sworn members this month, they have
plenty of vacancies to fill. With 28 out of 35 Miami Police applicants applying to the MDPD, its a no
brainer where they will choose to go for when the county pays about $10 more an hour. It wont be us.
Mind you, we arent even comparing ourselves to other departments like Miami Beach.
Its way overdue to restore our pay and benefits. Please stay tuned for more updates.
