    Director's Message

    The Miami-Dade Police Department (MDPD) is the largest law enforcement agency in the Southeastern United States serving an ethnically and racially diverse community.  The Department provides both traditional and municipal police and sheriff services to Miami-Dade County and contractual municipal areas. The personnel compliment consists of approximately 3,000 sworn officers and 1,500 civilian budgeted positions.  MDPD is both internationally and state accredited.

    MDPD operates nine district stations that provide police services to a population of over 1.4 million people in unincorporated Miami-Dade County. In addition, the Department’s Police Operations Bureau provides decentralized patrol services to Jackson Memorial Hospital, the Port of Miami, County rail and bus transit locations, Fischer Island, and unincorporated areas of Key Biscayne. The Department’s Special Patrol Bureau provides specialized patrol services to include marine patrol, dignitary protection, special response teams, bomb disposal, emergency operation of a mobile task force, hostage negotiations, traffic enforcement, and canine assistance.  The Strategic and Specialized Investigations Bureau operates a Homeland Security Unit that functions as the departmental liaison with other agencies and coordinates with MDPD entities to strengthen domestic security including prevention, preparedness, protection, response and recovery capabilities.

    The Department provides contractual police services to four municipalities within Miami-Dade County, and maintains Mutual Aid Agreements with all the municipalities within Miami-Dade County and surrounding counties.  

    The Communications Bureau provides radio dispatch and complaint reception services for MDPD and subscribing police agencies.  The Complaint Desk received over 2.2 million calls during F/Y 2003/2004.   The Communications Bureau also provides emergency complaint reception service for the Miami-Dade Fire Department.
