Mayor ATTEST: APPROVED AS TO FORM: �C Village Clerk Village Attorney ATTACHMEI PROGRAM NARRATIVE Jurisdiction Name: Miami Shores Village Contact Person: David McLeod Address: 9990 NE 2 Avenue Contact Numbers: O (305) 759-2468 Miami Shores, FL 33138 F (305) 795-2212 Program Area: Records Improvement Program Dates: 10/01/10 through 09/30/11 Program Name: Investigative Cost Recovery Target Population: Village Residents Problem Identification The Village of Miami Shores Police Department investigates crimes committed in Miami Shores. Often these investigations involve many hours of time or special investigative equipment to build a solid case for prosecution. The taxpayers of Miami Shores bear the cost of investigations brought for prosecution. Florida State Statute 938.27 "Judgment for Costs on Conviction" states in all criminal cases, convicted persons are liable for payment of the documented costs of prosecution, including investigative costs incurred by law enforcement agencies, by fire departments for arson investigations, and by investigations of the Department of Financial Services or the Office of Financial Regulation of the Financial Services Commission, if requested by such agencies. These costs shall be included and entered in the judgment rendered against the convicted person.. The Miami Shores Police Department wishes to pursue all available avenues to recover investigative costs through the above statue. Our current efforts are paper based forms manually completed by officers and submitted during case filings. The forms require printing and storage and information is manually entered in the records management system. The forms are an additional time consuming step, and not all investigative time or costs are captured with the process. The department proposes to create a reporting system that will allow any officer or detective to electronically record investigative time and expense information for a criminal case. The system will also automate the computing of expenses by linking data recorded in current software modules for the expense report. The department will have an accurate and efficient way of tracking costs and soliciting the courts for cost recovery. Program Description The Miami Shores Police Department will install software upgrades to,the existing report management system that will electronically capture investigative expenses from beginning to end for each case. This upgrade will provide efficient means to submit cost recovery requests to the court. The police department benefits from a better means to track investigative costs for future budgeting of resources. The citizens benefit by potential recovery of funds; funds that may be used for more proactive police services, increasing the likelihood of preventing crime. JAG funding will be used to contract with an agency to develop and install the software program for this initiative. Contractual services may also include a web design and possible training on use of the program. Jurisdiction Name: Miami Shores Village Contact Person: Lt.
