CIP Issue Based Reports

The CIP’s investigation of complaints and data analysis sometimes reveals problems that go beyond specific acts of misconduct and suggest the need for a change in police department policy, procedures, or training.  When this occurs, the board notifies the police chief and recommends solutions. Further, the CIP ordinance requires CIP staff to review, audit, and recommend changes on departmental policy to encourage best police practices.

For the past two years, Panel members noticed a disturbing pattern emerge and asked our staff to research incidents involving “extra duty” assignments. Extra duty assignments are those where Miami officers are privately hired for policing or security functions. Officers are expected to enforce all laws impartially and without expectation of favors, as they would when on regular duty. Extra duty secondary employment does not include officers who own businesses or have other jobs, unrelated to policing such as janitors or realtors. Staff compiled internal affairs cases and CIP investigations involving extra duty conduct and found at least forty (40) instances alleging misconduct by Miami Police officers (2017-2018). This report is a summary of our findings and recommendations focusing on extra duty assignments.
