Commissioner Fernandez placed a referral to the Public Safety and Neighborhood Quality of Life Committee (PSNQLC) on the October 18, 2023 City Commission Meeting agenda to discuss the Miami Beach Police Department's (MBPD) efforts to patrol the Mid-Beach. 

The City of Miami Beach's Middle District patrol area where the Mid Beach Neighborhood Association is situated is currently staffed daily per shift with at least one lieutenant and sergeant, the Mid-Beach Neighborhood Resource Officer and dedicated beat officer coverage on the Venetian Causeway, North Bay Road and 41st Street.   

In addition, the Department has specialized traffic units to include the Motorcycle Unit and Accident Investigation Team who are responsible for the enforcement of traffic laws within all police patrol areas of the city to include Mid-Beach.

Supplementing the resources mentioned are officers and civilian employees in Marine Patrol, the Park Ranger Corps and specialized details as needed.
