Sunny Isles Beach, FL Police Staffing Study

Sunny Isles Beach is an affluent city located on a barrier island in northeast Miami-Dade County, Florida. The city is part of the Miami metropolitan area of South Florida, and is bounded by the Atlantic Ocean on the east and the Intracoastal Waterway on the west. Sunny Isles Beach is known for its beautiful beaches, luxury hotels and condominiums, and vibrant nightlife. CPS was retained to conduct a staffing study for the City of Sunny Isles Beach. This community is on the east coast of Florida directly on the Atlantic Ocean with other cities to the North, West and South. Unable to expand the city boundaries, growth would come from infill redevelopment or would be vertical.

Leadership changes mandated a shift in the command staff and a different focus on providing police services in the community. CPS was brought in to examine new organizational charts, a revamped roster and a change in the department’s priorities. CPS worked with a management consultant (former police chief) to undertake a staffing study to ensure that the department’s personnel were aligned with current and future staffing needs to ensure a high quality of service for the community.
