| | SUBJECT: | DISCUSSION REGARDING AN UPDATE ON COMPLETING INSTALLATION OF CAMERA TECHNOLOGY FOR THE ENTIRE BEACHWALK, AND POLICE PRESENCE AND ENFORCEMENT EFFORTS ON THE BEACHWALK. |
|
| | | | | | | | HISTORY:
| | Commissioner Meiner placed a referral to the Public Safety and Neighborhood Quality of Life Committee (PSNQLC) on the June 22, 2022 City Commission Meeting agenda to discuss the City’s progress on camera installation along the beachwalk and the police department's presence and enforcement along the beachwalk. |
| | |
| | | | | | | | ANALYSIS
| The installation of CCTV cameras on the Beachwalk is a dynamic and ever-changing project. Due to funding constraints, supply chain issues, required contractual/procurement processes, and the sheer magnitude of this and other citywide CCTV projects, the finish line is constantly moving. The police department is working diligently to complete each section as timely as possible. Below is a breakdown for each section of the beachwalk:
South Point Park to 3rd Street – (No Cameras – No Infrastructure)
This section of Beachwalk was completed several years ago with no CCTV infrastructure set aside for communications or 24hr power. The Police Department would like to bring power and fiberoptic communications infrastructure to this section of the Beachwalk, with continued connectivity into South Pointe Park, for future deployment of cameras. There is currently no funding identified for his section.
3rd Street to 24th Street – (Full Coverage)
This section of Beachwalk has extensive CCTV coverage.
24th Street to 46th Street – (Project Underway)
This section of the Beachwalk was originally contracted without the inclusion of CCTV infrastructure. Funding was identified and infrastructure work was completed by PD. Although this project was anticipated to be completed by the end of the Fiscal year (September, 2022) it will likely not be completed on time due to ongoing shortages of materials and long lead times on electrical equipment, cameras, and fiberoptic cabling.
46th Street to 63rd Street – (No Cameras – No Infrastructure)
This section of Beachwalk was constructed with no CCTV infrastructure in place. Capital Budget funds have been programmed in Fiscal Year 22-23. If approved, construction planning and system design will begin in 2023.
63rd Street to 79th Street – (No Cameras – No Infrastructure)
This section of Beachwalk was constructed with no CCTV infrastructure in place. Capital Budget funds have been proposed in Fiscal Year 23-24. If approved, construction planning and system design will begin in 2024.
79th Street to 87th Street – (Infrastructure Construction Underway)
This is a joint project between Police and Capital Improvements as they build the Beachwalk. CCTV infrastructure (trenching, conduit, electrical, etc.) was included in this project, which is nearly complete. PD is preparing for the next phase which will include measurement and ordering of the fiberoptic cabling and the power, network communications, and camera equipment for use in this section.

| | | | | | | | CONCLUSION:
The police department is steadfastly working to advance the technology solutions available to our personnel and city staff with the end goal of making Miami Beach the safest community in South Florida. Thanks to the continued support of our elected officials, a highly motivated team of tech professionals, and a clearly defined vision, the Miami Beach Police Department will continue to pave the way in these areas.
