MRC Security

ALL CITY EMPLOYEES


As a clarification to the June 16, 1999 E-Mail issued by John Lindsay, Chief of Staff, on City I.D.’s, please be advised that items of a personal nature, such as: handbags, brief cases, gym bags and the like will not be searched outside existing State and Federal guidelines.  Please also note that employees who fail to present a photo City I.D. on five occasions will be required to submit a red-line memo to his/her department director justifying failure to present the I.D.  Changes to the June 16, 1999 E-Mail are indicated below with an underline.

ACM’s and Directors:

Ensure all employees are aware of and comply with the following revised policies regarding MRC security.  It is important to include those not assigned to the MRC, but who visit the facility, as well as those not having e-mail access.

All Employees:

City ID’s are to be worn at all times in a conspicuous location as to proved immediate identification while on or in MRC property.  Removing an I.D. from a coat pocket or purse, for example, to gain access and then returning it to that location is not acceptable - the I.D. will be worn at all times.

Employees (including full-time, part-time, temporary, and contracted) who do not have a city I.D. will present a photo I.D. at the main lobby security desk and sign-in on a daily basis.  Employees who fail to present a photo City I.D. on five occasions will be required to submit a red line memo to his/her department director justifying failure to present the I.D.

City of Miami police officers and firefighters will wear a City I.D. when wearing civilian attire or a uniform not requiring a name plate and badge.  T-shirts with police or firefighter logo will not preclude the requirement of wearing a City I.D.

Absent emergency circumstances, do not attempt to gain access to the parking garage without an access card.  You must park in Lot 16 or 17 until a new or replacement card is secured.  Replacement cards are available through the MRC Facility Manager at a cost of $25.  If the emergency circumstances warrant parking in the garage, the employee will be required to show identification and sign in at the front desk.

Employees are not to use their access cards to provide access to the parking garage or fitness center for those who do not have a card.  Employees utilizing the fitness center will not open the entrance door for those who do not have a card.

Employees arriving prior to 6:00 a.m. and/or departing after 7:00 p.m. on regular work days or anytime on weekends or holidays, will sign in and/or out at the main lobby security desk.

Employees, when requested by security personnel, will show the contents of packages, cartons, and the like, which are being removed from the facility.  Items of an obvious personal nature, such as handbags, brief cases, gym bags, and the like, will not be searched unless such searches are conducted in accordance with state and federal guidelines.  Removal of City computer equipment requires an authorization form from the Department of Information Technology.

Individuals needing a City I.D. are to have their Department forward a memo to that effect to Human Resources who will in turn generate an I.D. Authorization Form.

Badge holders and clips are available at the MRC main lobby security desk.

Any questions regarding this policy should be directed to me at (305) 416-1025.
