RECORDS DEPARTMENT

The Troop E Records Department is under the supervision of the District II Commander. The District II Commander directly supervises the four records clerks. All written reports generated by Troop E personnel are maintained in the Records Department. The clerks serve the general public by fulfilling walk-in, and mail-in request for public records.

MOTOR UNIT
A ten (10) percent increase in traffic enforcement production will be their goal. Furthermore, an increase in enforcement details (i.e., radar, vascar, saturation patrol) will be planned in crash-prone areas. Members of the motorcycle unit will also respond to crashes to alleviate the backup of calls when the districts are at a minimum staffing. The motorcycle sergeant will create a standard for presidential motorcades for all local agencies to use as a guide.

TACTICAL RESPONSE TEAM
The tactical response team goal is to continue training enabling every member on the team to be tactically, physically and mentally prepared to confront any situation that will require the activation of the team. The TRT has committed to have a maximum response time to any location within Dade and Monroe County of 90 minutes, starting from the time of initial call to arrival on scene.

CANINE
Will maintain the high level of drug interdiction and currency seizure that has characterized the Troop E Canine unit. Continue to assist other agencies as part of a combined team in the attack against drug trafficking.
