SUMMARY
Gun violence is a public health epidemic that only intensified throughout the pandemic – 2020 saw a 13%
increase in homicides from the year prior and a 45% increase from 2016. Nearly one in four victims in 2020 was
younger than 21 years old. In response to directive 210781 directing the County Mayor or Mayor’s Designee to
establish an “Anti-Gun Violence and Prosperity Initiatives” Plan, we produced our Peace and Prosperity Plan.
With input received by Commissioners, staff, and community leaders, the administration created this evidence-
based and best practice-driven Peace and Prosperity Plan to address the underlying causes of gun violence
and poverty. In developing this document, we conducted an exhaustive detailed review of county resources
and national models focused on addressing gun violence – identifying both specific successful interventions
that are presently operational in the county, and innovative new opportunities worthy of investment. We also
consulted with local and national issue experts in the field of criminology and social work and reviewed data
and trends to illustrate areas of greatest need.
We have a historic opportunity to deploy $90 million in funding over 19 years to tackle the gun violence
crisis. The Peace and Prosperity Plan takes a strategic prevention, intervention, and re-entry approach
that looks at the whole child, family, and community, with a focus on the neighborhoods most affected, and
addresses the social and economic disparities at the root of gun violence – targeting resources toward
community revitalization needs and economic insecurity. Through the strategies outlined in this plan, we will
work to prevent gun violence in the hardest-impacted communities across Miami-Dade, address the alarming
incidence of gun violence in North Dade and stem the escalating violence in South Dade, and build safer, more
prosperous neighborhoods for all families. And we will leverage collaboration with other community and
government efforts coordinated through the new Office of Neighborhood Safety (ONS) to expand the impact
of this funding. Causes and cures of poverty are complex, involving multiple factors and requiring multiple
interventions including systemic and structural reforms. ONS will identify broader opportunities to address the
underlying conditions and offer policy and program solutions that can lead to real reform.
The plan focuses on the following key impact areas:

Prevention including job creation, internships and apprenticeships, support for families, counseling and enrichment
programs, and one-stop, comprehensive neighborhood service centers
Entry programs for returning citizens that are focused on job training, placement, supportive housing, and
counseling
Alternative programs for intervention including education, training, redirection, and treatment
Community revitalization addressing neighborhood blight through remediation, beautification, and accelerating
critical public works improvements
Economic investments in housing, commercial, and business development
Peace and Prosperity Plan | 2021

APPROACH
The plan encompasses a short- and long-term strategy, including programs to have immediate impact on high-
risk youth; ongoing independent evaluation to ensure that the most effective efforts guide future investments;
and leveraging outside resources to expand the impact of the FTX dollars by addressing the causes and
symptoms of violence and poverty.
Fit2Lead
Implementation of the Peace and Prosperity Plan in year one and two will focus on significant expansion of the
successful Fit2Lead initiative for more at-risk youth – through both a Fellowship Program during summer 2021
and summer 2022, to serve 500 students per summer, and an Afterschool Enrichment and Internship Program
to operate year-round, with 670 students enrolled for FY2021-2022. Independent evaluation demonstrated
a 30% reduction in crime in neighborhoods where Fit2Lead was implemented. The Fellowship program will
bridge the end of the school year to fall and provide critical engagement opportunities for youth during the
upcoming summer months. The Afterschool Enrichment and Internship Program will create continuity and
allow participants to continue building skills and staying positively engaged year-round. Slots for both summer
and year-round Fit2Lead programs will be allocated based on homicides per district; see the Fit2Lead Slots
Breakdown section in the Appendix for a detailed breakdown.
Independent Evaluation
We will conduct a comprehensive independent evaluation to be completed by December 2022 to guide
investments for year 3 and beyond. The evaluation will look at the following indicators: (1) reduction in
homicides, (2) reduction in shootings, and (3) recidivism rates among program’s participants. This evaluation
will be performed for the full County and for all 13 districts to analyze both countywide and district-specific
progress, challenges, and trends. Importantly, the evaluation will examine – but be sensitive to – the changes
in criminal activity in Miami-Dade (and the United States) in 2020 compared to the previous two years, and
situate the Miami-Dade experience compared to other U.S. cities of comparable population size.
Other Programming
Additional investments in years one and two detailed below include other programs designed for at-risk
youth, and resources for crime-solving capabilities within Miami-Dade Police Department (MDPD). In addition
to this programming, MDPD has put into effect enforcement initiatives to investigate and solve crimes. Please
see the respective attachment for more information on programs and initiatives. In year two, we will ramp
up our efforts with investments in innovative programs to prevent crime and new resources to support
neighborhood-specific peace and prosperity solutions, including “Safe in the 305” Community Grants and
a Public Safety Toolkit to equip community leaders with funding and resources to employ intervention and
prevention strategies in their own neighborhoods.

Finally, to expand the reach and impact of the Peace and Prosperity Plan, we will leverage $32.1 million
available through the Public Housing and Community Development Block Grant funds (CDBG) – $18.3 million
in year one and $13.8 million in year two – to support efforts for community revitalization and economic
development. Our plan also recommends legislation that will stem the number of residents in the criminal
justice system and steer them towards better outcomes, as well as legislation to create better crime data
sharing across municipalities. More details can be found below.
OVERALL BUDGET
Funding available through the naming rights partnership varies year over year. The administration’s 70% allocation
for year one and year two, along with District 5’s allocation – $230,000 for years one and two – which was
returned to the administration, totals about $7.2 million. The administration also raised an additional $550,000
from various funding sources ($150,000 from the FTX Foundation, $100,000 from Juvenile Services Trust Fund,
and $300,000 in additional grants) to supplement Fit2Lead and expand the program to additional youth.
In total, with the FTX funding and additional funds FTX Funding
raised, our projected budget for year one and year two Year 1 Year 2 Total FTX Funding
is $7,768,476. To maintain continuity of programming, $2,018,626 $5,199,850 $7,218,476

YEAR 1
Fit2Lead Fellowship Program – Summer 2021: $1,094,626 (500 participants)
The Miami-Dade County Parks, Recreation and Open Spaces FIT2Lead, is an evidence-based program that
will focus on the highest risk population – youth already involved in the system and/or those who may have
identified disabilities or are neurodivergent. The Fellowship program will provide paid internships/jobs for
youth to acquire and practice skills through recreation activities and workshops that promote social, emotional,
and mental health, and foster long-term academic and behavior improvement. The job placements will be
primarily in government, hospitality, and construction. We can quickly expand this program to serve 500
additional youth in summer 2021 to have immediate impact in high-risk neighborhoods.
MDPD Athletic League Program: $30,000

The MDPD Police Athletic League Program provides an environment focusing on pro-social activities that
promote positive behaviors in youth. Activities include sporting events, sports clinics, competitive leagues,
summer programming, and educational groups. Group discussions emphasize on making good choices, the
importance of positive peer influence, excelling in school, and setting future goals.

4
MDPD Turn Around Police Academy: $44,000

The Turn Around Police Academy offers an 11-week program designed to support positive youth behaviors
and encourage community service. Participants include at-risk youth and youth involved in the juvenile justice
system. The goal is to support the development of healthy youth by addressing their needs and linking them
to support services. Program activities include monitoring school progress, exploring career goals, discussions
on improving relationships, and addressing problem behaviors. TAP collaborates with Juvenile Justice Partners
and Community-based Organizations to ensure a continuum of services for participants and their families.
Summer Youth Internship Program: $800,000 (500 participants)

Summer Youth Internship Program, a partnership with the Children’s Trust, Miami-Dade County, Miami Dade
Public Schools, the South Florida Workforce Investment Board and the Foundation for New Education
Initiatives to sponsor student internships annually at a variety of organizations over the summer. Opportunities
will be given to children who may have identified disabilities and those who are neurodivergent.
Independent Evaluation: $50,000

Independent Evaluator will evaluate the Year 1 programs, including the following indicators: (1) Reduction in
homicides, (2) Reduction in contact shooting, and (3) Recidivism rates among program’s participants.
Year 1 Total: $2,018,626
YEAR 2
Fit2Lead Afterschool Enrichment and Internship Program: Year-Round Programming
September 2021 – May 2022 (670 participants)
Fit2Lead Fellowship Program – Summer 2022 (500 participants)
TOTAL: $3,819,174*
The breakdown below shows the distribution of Fit2Lead slots based on homicides per commission district.
Children served must be a whole number, not fractions, so we will round up or down to get to final number of
slots for each district. Because these are approximate distributions, there is a roughly $5,000 difference between
the projected Commission district dollar distribution and the projected Fit2Lead budget for the two years.
Miami-Dade Police Department (MDPD) Intelligence Analysts: $341,676

The Miami-Dade Police Department (MDPD) Intelligence Analysts will assist the Professional Compliance
Bureau’s Cyber Crimes Section in addressing gun violence throughout Miami-Dade County. The analysts
will provide police districts and other entities within MDPD with enhanced information obtained via cyber
investigations to assist in rapid identification of suspects.
*$300,000 of this total is anticipated to come from additional grants which will be in place prior to the commencement of the next fiscal year.
5
Project Green Light: $300,000

As part of a ground-breaking crime-fighting partnership between local businesses and community groups,
Project Green Light partners with property owners in high crime areas by installing real-time cameras and
connecting to the police headquarters. The project includes installing high-definition cameras and upgrading to
high-speed network connections that enable consistent video streaming to the Miami-Dade Police Department.
Participants provide sufficient lightning on all parts of their properties and make improvements needed to
ensure that their business are safe, inviting, and customer friendly. The program will include incentives for
businesses that participate and help to subsidize cost. In Detroit, the Pilot Program reduced crime by 40%.
Safe in the 305 Grants Program: $50,000

The “Safe in the 305” Grants program will launch countywide public safety small grants – ranging from $500–
$1,500 – to incentivize and encourage resident leaders and organizations to promote peace and prosperity
across communities, by funding community-driven actions that make neighborhoods safer. In addition to
funding, applicants will also receive best practices and strategies from the Office of Neighborhood Safety
Public Safety Toolkit to further empower them to use prevention, intervention, and trauma-informed response
methods while amplifying the voice of community to stand against violence and promote neighborhood peace
and wellness.
Public Safety Toolkit: $50,000

A centralized guide that provides Miami-Dade County residents with best practices to employ intervention
and prevention strategies in their own neighborhoods and across the county, provides accurate and timely
information about how to report a crime safely and anonymously; and offers readily accessible resources
to help families and neighborhoods in the aftermath of a violent event. The toolkit will also be used to train
residents who can then advocate for the specific needs of their neighborhoods.

S U P P L E M E N TA L P R O G R A M S
The supplemental programs detailed in this section are designed to support the success of the Peace and
Prosperity Initiative. The overall focus is on evidence-based interventions that address the underlying causes
and symptoms of violence and poverty, foster safer and more prosperous communities in the long-term, and
reduce contact with the justice system.
Public Housing and Community Development and Community Development Block Grant funds (CDBG):
$32.1 million (separate funding stream not part of FTX partnership)
We will leverage $18.3 million in year one and $13.8 million in year two available through the Public Housing
and Community Development Block funds (CDBG) to align with the Peace and Prosperity Initiative. CDBG
funding can support numerous efforts for community revitalization and economic development – including
jobs for low to moderate income residents, meal assistance, childcare assistance, homeowner repair programs,
small business assistance, installation of heritage and educational signage in our county facilities, upgrades
to childcare and youth centers, sidewalks improvements, home renovation, and more. We will identify target
neighborhoods for CDBG investment through the peace and prosperity plan and immediately begin re-
deploying this funding starting this summer to support safer and more prosperous neighborhoods.
Civil Citations
We also urge the Commission to sponsor and approve legislation that will significantly expand the civil citations
program per the recommendation of the State Attorney’s office. The Department of Juvenile Justice reports
that youth who, instead of being arrested, are cited and diverted for low level offenses, have “significantly
better outcomes than youth who were eligible for Civil Citation but were arrested and diverted” (4% v. 9%).
D ATA
We also ask the BCC to sponsor and approve legislation standardizing crime data sharing across all municipalities.
In the process of collecting data to guide this plan per the Board’s direction, it became clear that we need a
central clearing house for Countywide crime data – not just shootings and homicides but all crimes. We need
cities to report this data in a consistent way so we can clearly track crime across commission districts, to target
resources now and in the future. Should the board successfully pass legislation for a standardized data sharing
agreement across municipalities, the analytics team will also compile and centralize shooting incident data across
Miami’s various jurisdictions for the first time – creating a single, integrated information management hub to
enable more proactive policing and social service programming strategies throughout the County.
7
OFFICE OF NEIGHBORHOOD SAFETY

The Office of Neighborhood Safety (ONS) – created with four existing positions to be re-assigned – will bring
together residents, community stakeholders, and county representatives to solve public safety and quality of
life issues. The Office is working at the community level with the Together for Children coalition to ensure that
services are offered comprehensively to have the greatest impact. ONS will engage directly with historically
disenfranchised communities to ensure they help to guide decision-making and deliver innovative solutions to
address gun violence, revitalize public spaces, improve community infrastructure, and minimize the need for
residents to interact with the criminal justice system.
ONS will directly oversee the Peace and Prosperity Plan, helping monitor and evaluate programs to determine
effectiveness and providing quarterly reports to the Board and the public. In addition, the ONS will take on
activities such as creating a Public Safety Toolkit – a centralized guide to help residents employ intervention
and prevention strategies in their own neighborhoods – and designing and implementing neighborhood-
specific projects like “Safe in the 305” grants to invest in resident leaders and organizations. The grants can be
administered through the administration or in partnership with individual commission districts.
C O N C LU S I O N
The root causes of violence are complex and multi-layered and tackling them requires a comprehensive strategy.
The strategic and evidence-based prevention, intervention, and re-entry approach we have laid out in this plan
aims to address the needs of the youth, families, and communities impacted by gun violence and to tackle the
underlying causes in order to create real reform. We recommend directing resources to evidence-based programs
that will immediately help create pathways to positive engagement and skill-building for the highest-risk youth,
while also investing in innovative new programs to prevent crime and empower residents to promote peace and
prosperity in their own neighborhoods.
This plan is part of a larger effort to better connect community, government, law enforcement, and service
providers and expand collaboration through the new Office of Neighborhood Safety (ONS), to scale the impact
of this funding. By strategically targeting the resources available through the FTX naming rights partnership on
families and neighborhoods most impacted, and by leveraging collaboration to identify broader opportunities to
offer new policy and program solutions, we will confront the causes and symptoms of the gun violence epidemic
and build safer, more peaceful, more prosperous neighborhoods for all Miami-Dade families.

ENFORCEMENT PROGRAMS
•S
treet Terror Offender Program (STOP) - The STOP program targets individuals involved in the illicit drug
industry who have demonstrated a propensity for committing violent crimes, are currently criminally active,
have past convictions for violent crimes, and are in possession of firearms. The STOP program is staffed by
members of the Department’s Robbery Bureau, and agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms
and Explosives. Operation STOP continues to address the community’s needs by providing a concentrated
multi-agency approach to dealing with violent crimes.
• Robbery Intervention Detail (RID) - This unit is a comprehensive robbery suppression initiative that primarily
utilizes analytically driven enforcement techniques to schedule operations and deploy personnel.
During their daily deployment, RID is responsible for the following duties:
• Assist Investigative Services entities in apprehending wanted individuals throughout MDC.
• Identify individuals and locations that warrant special enforcement attention.
• Locate and apprehend known robbery offenders.
•T
rack cases from the arrest through the prosecution phase, and ensure that offenders are
prosecuted to the fullest extent.
RID continues to concentrate on apprehending individuals or groups known to commit robberies.

Additionally, RID provides high-visibility patrol in areas where robberies are known to occur. RID provides
coverage, seven days a week, utilizing variable day and afternoon shifts, while responding to robbery trends
and/or requests.
• The Firearms Interdiction Reduction Enforcement (FIRE) - FIRE is a joint effort between the MDPD, Bureau
of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, Florida Department of Law Enforcement, and the United States
Attorney’s Office. This task force addresses complex cases concentrating on armed violent groups or gangs,
firearms traffickers, armed career criminals, and convicted felons.
• Priority Response Team - MDPD’s Priority Response Team is a specially trained, equipped, and readily
available unit designed to provide a rapid and systematic response to Mass Casualty Attacks and Critical
Incidents. The deployment strategies further serve as a deterrence factor, through high visibility vehicular and
foot patrols of highly populated areas and critical infrastructures throughout MDC to include public, private,
and charter schools, shopping malls, and hospitals.
• Homicide Street Violence Task Force (HSVTF) - This initiative was conceived as an effort to share intelligence
and strategically address escalating levels of street violence, particularly murders, occurring in MDC. This
multi-pronged approach raises homicide clearance rates by utilizing the most effective means of gathering
intelligence, including the use of Confidential Informants and sources, cultivates the cooperation of reluctant
witnesses, and enhances community participation.

16
The HSVTF has dedicated teams in the northern and southern communities within MDC to address specific
areas, which have traditionally been impacted by violent crimes such as: murders, shooting incidents,
narcotics trafficking, and aggravated battery.
The HSVTF also has a Community Outreach Section (COS), which is dedicated to building community
relationships with the local clergy, community stakeholders, and school districts, has also been established.
The COS has demonstrated a unique ability to forge real time intelligence with the aforementioned
community tiers in order to enhance and further criminal investigations. The COS works hand-in-hand
with homicide investigators and the victim/witness coordinator, which has resulted in investigators being
intricately involved in working with residents, business owners, and apartment complex managers in
areas that have been plagued by violent crime. The HSVTF bridges communication gaps between various
Miami-Dade Police Department (MDPD) units and outside law enforcement agencies in an effort to thwart
a continuing cycle of violence. The HSVTF model gains the trust and cooperation of members of the
community through results and community outreach efforts.
• Strategic Innovations and High Technology Crimes Section - With the growing popularity and use of
computers, the MDPD has seen a significant increase in conducting and assisting with investigations where
computers are being utilized for the commission of fraud and identify theft as well as criminal financing via
crypto currencies. The Strategic Innovations and High Technology Crimes Section collaborates with and
assists federal, state, and other local law enforcement in enforcing federal, state, and local criminal laws
relating to computer related crime through forensic collection, recovery, processing, preservation, analysis,
storage, maintenance, and presentation of digital evidence.
Some of the crimes investigated by the Section include:

•H
acking/intrusion campaigns against high-profile victims, such as governmental agencies, including
offenses perpetrated by advanced persistent threat groups and attacks on critical infrastructure.
• Cyber-enabled frauds, such as malware forums and business e-mail compromise schemes.
• Online money laundering through cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin.
•D
arknet markets, such as those dedicated to the distribution of child pornography or the sale and
distribution of narcotics.
•C
yberstalking offenses, including domestic violence, revenge porn, and “doxxing” offenses against
elected officials.
• Real-Time Crime Center (RTCC) - The RTCC is an MDPD resource that provides 24-hour, seven days a week,
“real-time” support for the Department’s patrol officers and detectives. It functions as a centralized hub
that rapidly mines information across multiple criminal, civil, and social media resources. It is comprised of
dedicated sworn and civilian personnel who utilize the most effective technologies and practices in providing
resources previously unavailable. The RTCC works in concert with other entities throughout the Department,
to include but not limited to, the Communications and Homeland Security Bureaus, and the Criminal
Investigations Division. RTCC fosters partnerships with many local, state, and federal agencies throughout
Florida. Its mission is to provide “real-time” information to increase citizen and officer safety, and to ensure
the effectiveness of Department personnel in solving crimes. The RTCC completed the expansion of the
ShotSpotter coverage areas in the Northside, Intracoastal, and South Districts.
17
RTCC provides the following services:

• Vets calls for service
•M
onitors, relays dispatch information, and provides intelligence information related to the Acoustic
Gunshot Detection System (ShotSpotter)
• Provides National Integrated Ballistic Information Network reports for investigators
• Monitors License Plate Reader (LPR) “Hits” and enters wanted license plates into the system
• Monitors video surveillance systems
• Assists investigators with facial recognition, line-ups, and other analytical requirements
• Monitors and provides assistance during critical incidents
• Monitors/disseminates information received on the Community on Patrol Tip Application
• ShotSpotter - is an acoustic gunshot detection system utilized to enhance the Department’s ability to
respond effectively to violent crimes involving illegal and indiscriminate gunfire. The device is deployed in
high-crime areas to help identify shooting locations expeditiously and assist with investigations. The device
pinpoints locations where casings may be recovered, even though no victims were located. The casings are
later sent to the lab and processed for comparisons. Police are dispatched instantly to gunshot incidents and
the chance of apprehension increases.
• Organized Crimes Bureau - Prior to the pandemic, hybrid-gangs and criminal organizations were transitioning
their criminal enterprises into crypto currencies and fraud to mask their activities and minimize their criminal
exposure. The pandemic provided an opportunity for these criminal elements to organize and take advantage
of fraudulent activities, which have now proven to have had an impact on gun violence. The MDPD merged
the Narcotics and Economic Crimes Bureaus to create the Organized Crimes Bureau. The Organized Crimes
Bureau’s mission is to leverage financial fraud investigations with the knowledge and intelligence gained
through effective investigations of criminal enterprises engaging in:
• Identity theft - credit card, gift card, and tax fraud

• COVID-19 fraud
• Mortgage fraud
• Squatter investigations
• Cargo theft
• Drug trafficking
• Money laundering
• Prescription drug enforcement

Children served must be a whole number, not fractions, so we will round up or down to get to final number of
slots for each district. Because these are approximate distributions, there is a roughly $5,000 difference between
the projected Commission district dollar distribution and the projected Fit2Lead budget for the two years.
