Honesty & Integrity

THROUGH BOLD LEADERSHIP MAYOR GIMENEZ
HAS TAKEN THE NECESSARY STEPS TO:
Enhance and maintain trust between our community and police department by implementing a system of
1,000 police body cameras. Making the Miami-Dade Police Department one of the first in the nation and the
largest police department in the southeast using body cameras.
Make our community safer by introducing a mentoring program to combat crime across the county
reaching out to at-risk youth. The police officers selected for the Youth and Community Safety Initiative are
responsible for mentoring at-risk youth with the goal of giving them better alternatives and steering them
away from crime and violence and helping their families with counseling, job placement and substance abuse
treatment.
Create employment opportunities by introducing Employ Miami-Dade, an initiative to recruit, train and
place residents from neighborhoods with high unemployment, resulting in over 420 applicants getting jobs.
