MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners
VIA: Stan Morris, City Manager
FROM: Edward Santiago, Chief of Police
DATE: April 18, 2024
RE: Authorize the Expenditure of DOJ Funds for the School Resource Sergeant
Position, Upgrade to PCP's CCTV System, and an Upgrade to the RMS
Software for Accident Submittal.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of this Resolution.
REASONS:
The Police Department is seeking approval to expend Department of Justice forfeiture funds to pay for
the salary and benefits of a full time school resource sergeant (SRS). The SRS position will allow our
police department to continue and have a presence at the school and will supplement the current police
officer provided by Miami -Dade Schools Police. The SRS will be expected to work in conjunction with
the Miami -Dade Schools Police Officer to serve the students, teachers, and parents as well as participate
in educational programs such as DARE. The estimated amount to include fringe benefits needed to fund
this position is $190,000.00.
Additionally the Police Department is also seeking approval to expend $148,266.61 with M illenium (sic)
Products Inc. of Department of Justice forfeiture funds to upgrade the CCTV system currently in place
at PCP. This project will expand coverage of critical areas with new cameras and implement an artificial
intelligence server for use with our current camera system. This AI server will enable the cameras to
visually detect the presence of firearms, if they are observed on camera view. If they are observed, an
alert will be sent directly to the Police Communications Center Hiperwall. This will allow our
Communications Officers to get a visual on the event and dispatch police officers immediately.
Additionally the Al server has the ability to recognize faces. This will allow the police department to
"flag" certain people who may no longer have the privilege of visiting PCP, and their mere presence may

be a crime.
Lastly the Police Department is seeking approval to expend $8,060.00 of Department of Justice
forfeiture funds with Central Square to purchase a software module for use with our current records
management system. This Florida accident repository interface will allow us to transmit accident reports
electronically to DHSMV. An advantage to the implementation of the software is the electronic
submission to the state will allow customers seeking accident reports, to obtain them directly from
DHSMV. DHSMV will charge $10 for each report, of which Sunny Isles Beach will receive $5. Currently
our records department charges $1 per accident report.

Funds have been appropriated in account 600-3-5210-XXXXXX-XXXXX.
