This Interagency Agreement establishes a community partnership to coordinate resources and facilitate the exchange of information and records to assist with the reentry of offenders into the community. The Interagency Agreement is effective upon execution and will continue for a period of five (5) years from that date. There are no costs associated with this Interagency Agreement.

The Interagency Agreement will provide a community partnership with the Florida Department of Corrections and is countywide.

Fiscal Impact/Funding Source
Miami-Dade County will not incur any costs with this Interagency Agreement.

Track Record/Monitor
The Interagency Agreement will be monitored by Reinaldo Valdes, Major, of the Miami-Dade Police Department Sheriff Services Bureau.

MANAGER'S BACKGROUND
Background
The purpose of the Interagency Agreement between the FDOC and MDPD is to work together to improve the interaction between both agencies, facilitate the exchange of information and records collected and maintained by each, and work together in addressing issues facing each agency and the criminal justice system. Each agency will retain responsibility for its personnel and for any fiscal and/or general administrative services utilized in support of this Agreement.

The Florida Department of Corrections and the Miami-Dade Police Department recognize that by working together in this kind of proactive partnership, they will be able to reduce crime and recidivism by offenders under community supervision and protect the public safety of the citizens of Miami-Dade County.
