The Miami-Dade Police Department (MDPD) affords the opportunities to designated departmental employees to perform off-regular-duty service within the scope of their training and duty assignments, regardless of job classification. Individual districts, as well as the MDPD Special Events Unit, each managed the planning and staffing of off-duty jobs within their own districts using manual methods. A need was identified to centralize the location of all off-duty jobs allowing for an equal and fair distribution of off-duty work to the officers since available opportunities are visible throughout the entire department. With a centralized location of all off-duty services, officers would now be able to view all their off-duty work in one location and stay up to date with the approval and payment status of these jobs, customers can easily apply for a permit, request an off-duty job and pay for services online and the process of getting tickets submitted and approved would be streamlined thru proper channels since the entire process would be electronic rather than paper-based.
