Time for all MDPD officers to find a new profession- Qualified immunity is coming!

[Unregistered]

If you are still working in this department, here is a word of advise. Time to look for another profession. Switch over to fire- they do not face the same issues we do. Better yet, retire, take whatever benefits you have and ride into the sunset. The future of law enforcement in this country is in terrible shape and in this county, it is even worse! As the only sheriff's office in Florida without an elected sheriff format, our mayor and commission controls our funding, discipline and benefits. That spells bad news for us. This mayor will deflect pressure in a heart beat and our commission, headed by Jordan and Cava are looking to destroy us.
Looming in the background and going through the courts now is the subject of qualified immunity. That means that when approved, any action you take as a law enforcement officer can result in a civil lawsuit where you will be left standing alone to pay for the consequences. Our retirements are also at stake. Any given day now, our mayor will decide to start taking benefits away from us and the State of Florida will follow their lead. That means that retirement you worked for all these years will go up in smoke. Do yourself a favor and start looking for a new line of work. This profession of ours has run its course.

What's next? Must carry liability insurance to work? I can see that coming as well.

PBA ALERT – Make your voices heard and have your family, friends and all that support our profession, which is under attack, take 5 minutes of their time and call.

On Wednesday, July 8, 2020, the Miami-Dade Board of County Commissioners (BCC) will take up the issue of whether to impose a civilian oversight panel (IRP) on police officers – including municipal police officers if their cities opt in.
The last proposed IRP ordinance passed on first reading, June 16, 2020, and called for funding the IRP with no less than 1% of the MDPD’s operating budget (that would be the equivalent of $7.59 million per year). The PBA has fiercely fought any efforts to defund the police!
IT IS IMPORTANT that you, your family members, friends and neighbors call county commissioners BEFORE the Wednesday, July 8, 2020, meeting (starts at 9:30 A.M.) and let them know that you do not want another taxpayer funded layer of bureaucracy overseeing the police, especially any attempts to defund the police, by any amount, whatsoever.
