Sunny Isles Beach Police Department Memorandum To: Rick Conner, City Manager Date: February 23, 2010 Via: Chief Fred Maas Subject: Extra Duty Officers From: Captain D. Snyder With regard to the hiring of extra-duty police officers, the Sunny Isles Beach Police Department requires that all necessary permit requirements have been met prior to the authorization of extra- duty police services. As there are many types of events / details where officers are requested, the police department retains the right to determine what type of events will be authorized and the number of officers necessary to safely handle the detail. This determination will always be based on the safety of the officers, as well as the general public. Considerations as to the number of officers required to work a specific detail include but are not limited to, the number of guests I patrons invited to the event and the estimated impact on the flow of traffic in and around the site location. A standard formula for scheduling a resort function where the event is expected to adversely influence the normal flow of traffic would be a minimum of two officers. This allows for predetermined points to be controlled, allowing for ease with ingress and egress to the event, while providing the safe coordinated control of traffic along our roadways. Any event that requires three or more officers will automatically require a supervisor to oversee the detail. The supervisor will then determine if any specialized traffic enforcement equipment is required. In the event that officers from this agency are not available to work an approved event, the extra- duty coordinator will forward the request to law enforcement agencies who share a common jurisdiction, i.e. Florida Highway Patrol, Miami Dade County Police Department or agencies with which we share Mutual Aid.
