Orlando Martinez de Castro CHIEF OF ,POLICE Date: March 14, 2006 To: Mrs. Yvonne McKinley, Acting City Manager Due to the present circumstances, please accept my resignation to be effective two weeks after the City Commission approves my severance package. This resignation is conditioned upon and subject_ to the agreement we reached regarding my severance package. As we agreed, the severance package will consist of a week of severance (salary and benefits excluding health insurance) per year of service (for a total of eight weeks) and my accrued vacation time. In addition, I will be paid for the two weeks prior to my resignation going into effect, at which time I will be available via phone. My eight years of association with the City have been very rewarding, both personally and professionally and I hope that my presence has been beneficial to the City as well. In my last assignment as Chief of Police we were able to accomplish many meaningful challenges. Some of the Police Department's accomplishments include the following: • Overall crime is down 15% o from last year and is the lowest it's been in 9 years. • Violent crimes are down by 26% from last year and are the lowest they've been in 10 years. • Non- violent crime is down 14 %from last year - • The substantial reduction in crime is due to pro - activity and the arrests for street level` narcotics, along with traffic enforcement. I believe that being visible and challenging suspicious activities is an important factor in crime prevention. For example, our police department has arrested and convicted over 100 different drug dealers in 9 investigations over the last two years. • The Police Department also detached a detective to a DEA` High Intensity Drug Trafficking, Area task force resulting in approximately $130,000 in seizures, which will be deposited into our forfeiture fund. • Thie Police ,established' Mutual Aid agreements with six state and local agencies, enabling them to share and utilize resources during investigations, emergencies and ',a number of other mutually beneficial situations. 1 • The Department installed Automated Vehicle Locator devices in patrol vehicles for enhanced accountability, improved response time and to provide safety for the officers. • The Department acquired the Reverse 911 system through a State of Florida Department of Community Affairs grant. This gives the Department the ability to broadcast telephone messages to the community regarding emergencies or matters of great community concern. • Reduced overtime by over forty percent over the last two years. • The department Manual for the Field Training Officers Program was revamped and rewritten. • Standardized the entire department with customized Glock .40 caliber automatic pistols and adequate firepower (assault rifles) for the supervisors. 'Additionally, the entire department when through' transitional weapon training. The weapons and training was 11 done without cost to the taxpayers. • Complete change; to paperless reporting of police offenses and incidents. The City's Management Information Services (M.I.S) Manager was merged with the Police Department's M.I.S. Specialist to form ';a more cohesive, efficient and cooperative environment. Working within very tight budget constraints, laptop computers were provided for each individual officer to allow them to be more productive and to eliminate some time by not having to log and check shared computers in and out. Offense and incident reports are now written and transmitted electronically to the records management system. Traffic citations are also completed e! lectronically, resulting in a tremendous time savings, increased productivity and tickets that are easier to read. • The purchase and distribution of digital cameras to supervisors through a grant assist in the field interview data by merging the information with digital photos of suspects to assist in investigations and offender identification. • Our newly > revamped k -9 Unit, which was initiated last year, was enhanced this year with the addition of a 2nd dog. The Belgian Malinois and his handler officer have completed their full training to assist with drug and offender apprehensions. We have also realized a decrease in officers injured, vehicle crashes, disciplinary cases and a decrease' in the number and seriousness of complaints against members of the department. • With tremendous support of many key members of the department, the newly appointed accreditation manager has initiated the process of getting the police department accredited. After a complete rewrite of the general orders, state and national accreditation is finally going to be achieved planned' completion is in August 2006. In addition, as the Department's administrator, I took actions to re- establish pride in the rank and file. Some of the ways in which this was accomplished were: P Clearing numerous cases involving workers compensation issues that were. frivolous and baseless fTom officers that were abusing the system by working light duty, etc. ! Identifying officers woose `;substandard performance jeopardized their fellow officers, as well as the citizens of South Miami. 2 max, . • Re- establishing the Officer of the Month/Year awards. Recognizing exemplary police performance. • Initiating a precedence of nominating officers and the police department for awards on a local and state" level. Some nominees were runner -ups in their respective categories, while others actually won the prestigious awards, bringing pride and recognition to our department and the community. It should be noted that throughout my eight years of employment with the City, as Deputy Director of Public Works, Director of Public Works, Assistant City Manager and Chief of Police I have never received a reprimand or disciplinary action of any kind, Instead I have received numerous commendations. I would like to take this opportunity to commend the numerous risen and women that I have worked with in the numerous, departments throughout the City, since we had to overcome many challenges and obstacles to meet our objectives. Every department that I had the privilege to serve with was able to successfully improve and provide better services. Again, in my last assignment as Chief of Police I realized that it's during times of adversity and difficulty that the true' characters of individuals are revealed. I am honored and privileged to have worked with the greatest staff that any one could ever ask for! Their professionalism, commitment and dedication to South Miami' are second to none. The police officers are true examples of what it means to be a public servant since they put their lives in jeopardy daily to serve and protect. In closing, I want to take this opportunity to thank past and present City officials and those superiors who shared my vision and supported all my endeavors. All experience, it's said is necessary for personal growth. If this is true, my tenure with the City of South Miami has been a "growth spurt". It is because of this and all that I previously mentioned that I today thank all the City's residents for that enrichment.` It has been my honor and pleasure to serve you.
