This week we want to look at the Miami Dade Corrections Dept effort in re-issuing policy to staff. We believe that issuing these policies on disk format is more fiscal responsible.
Also creating a log on system within the CRNET to issue policy changes and review. Moreover a printout would be sent to the Sworn staff supervisors advising of the employees review. Currently the Department is making hundreds if not thousands of copies, which are being misplaced and thrown out (Sad but true).
We want to just comment on the departments escape policy. If you have the pleasure of reading it, you will notice that everyone is just advising everyone else but nothing is really happening. This process is simple just have the operations force due just that, and the formal aspect done by a unit like G.I.U.
The Miami Dade Corrections Department has much to grow as a law enforcement agency. The policy is an example of that. Just as a reminder any sworn personnel requesting assistance form any citizens in re-capturing an escape inmate is a Florida statue and training personnel on creating a perimeter would go a long way.
Enclosing, the issue with force mandatory overtime continues our question is under whose authority is this being done. We ask this question because we have not seen any evidence of that person. Just a memo from the Director to the County Manager saying he did not see how this can continue without incurring mandatory overtime.
Under what authority?
For everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. (1 JOHN 5:4 )
Through you we push back our enemies; through your name we trample our foes. (Psalm 44:5)
