In March 2008, the police planning function was merged with the municipal administration function and the Municipal Services Bureau became the Strategic Planning and Municipal Administration Bureau (SPMAB). The mission of the SPMAB is to conduct research and analysis on issues affecting the current and future operations of the Miami-Dade Police Department. The SPMAB will continue to provide administrative support for Departmental personnel and resources under contract to the municipalities.
