Approved in 2020 by the Board of County Commissioners, it’s been a bumpy road getting the police oversight panel up and running. The ICP is empowered to investigate community allegations of police misconduct and to launch investigations on their own. Municipalities without police oversight panels — which includes all but the cities of Miami and North Miami — can opt-in to use the ICP. While the panel can’t discipline officers found to have committed procedural wrongdoing, they can make recommendations of appropriate disciplinary measures. They’ll also issue reports clearing officers of allegations found to be made without merit. Per the agenda (which you should reference if you have an interest in attending), the panel will present a case review, followed by comment and Q&As with/from both the complainant and a rep from Miami-Dade PD before concluding with a panel discussion and vote on recommendations. There are two opportunities for public comment at the start and end of the meeting. CALL TO ACTION - Share Your Story Regarding Recent Flooding in South Florida
Via Miami Climate Alliance The past few days have been challenging and serve as a reminder of needing to prepare and have a plan in place for disasters. When we say that climate change worsens every issue we face in Miami-Dade County this is what we mean.... lives are disrupted, public health & safety are jeopardized, property is destroyed and meanwhile we're expected to continue working and going about our daily lives. The purpose of this working group is to build/support neighborhood level leadership in preparing communities for extreme weather events and to increase equity, accountability, and community input within ALL government emergency planning/management efforts. WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU How have you weathered this flooding event? How have your family, friends, businesses, pets, etc been affected? Please take the time to complete this short survey to share your story. Our experiences matter and sharing them is crucial to planning efforts. Please share this survey with loved ones. |
