Policy Text
I. PURPOSE
To establish guidelines for the investigation of incidents involving the
discharge of firearms by members of the North Miami Police Department
(NMPD), and to establish guidelines that shall be uniformly applied following
any police shooting or in-custody death incident, in order to minimize the
chance that officers will suffer from the negative emotional and psychological
reactions that can occur after the use of deadly force. The Florida Department
of Law Enforcement (FDLE) will investigate contact shootings and in-custody
deaths, as established in the Memorandum of Understanding ‘A’). CFA
