COMMISSION MEMORANDUM

TO:	Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission
FROM:	Commissioner Steven Meiner
DATE:	July 28, 2021

SUBJECT:	REFERRAL TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND QUALITY OF LIFE COMMITTEE TO DISCUSS THE UTILIZATION OF MOBILE ARREST-PROCESSING CENTERS TO DECREASE THE TIME POLICE OFFICERS SPEND AWAY FROM THEIR ASSIGNED AREAS OF RESPONSIBILITY.

ANALYSIS

The general Standard Operating Procedure is for Police officers to take arrested individuals to the Police Department for processing. Upon arrival, they spend significant time fully booking the individual post-arrest. Once completed, the officer must travel back to his/her assigned area. This item aims to explore the use of Mobile Arrest-Processing Centers, which travel to the area of the arrest. Fingerprinting, evidentiary issues, and completing the required documentation are all done at the Mobile-Arrest Processing Center. The arrested individual is then transported by the Mobile Center. This allows the officer to remain in his/her assigned area of responsibility. This time-saving mechanism could be impactful in increasing police presence, visibility, and productivity.
