LAW ENFORCEMENT Sheriff Kelly reports the major problem lies within the city limits of Miami, and that there has been a serious displacement in casual and domestic labor. He cannot put his finger on a higher incident of crime but the number of crimes increased with the increase in population. He has not had sufficient funds to hire additional personnel and has had to transfer and relocate a number of officers to the areas of greatest concentration of refugees. He estimates the additional cost to his department to be in the neighborhood of $100,000. City Manager Reese Stated that it was necessary for them to increase the work week for the police force from 40 to 48 hours per week, however, the increased cost made it necessary to reduce the work week back to 40 hours after a five months period. The cost of this increase in the work week was $64,000. In addition, the number of patrolmen was increased by 17 through the hiring of handicapped individuals for desk jobs thereby freeing able - bodied personnel for patrol duties. It has also been necessary to hire instructors to teach basic Spanish to patrolmen. The jail population has increased with the increase in total population. There has been an increase in the youth recreation program but there is no estimate of the cost.
