of Police with the University of Miami Police Department, possess a well-rounded experience in

a manager treat employees as true members of the organization and as individuals. Although the

majority of the decision-making stems from the management side, employees should be entitled

to make their own decisions so as to create the empowering necessary for the success of the

organization. Every individual of the organization is important and they should be treated as

such. This tone set year-round and in a sincere fashion creates trust between labor and

management. Without this trust, any organization will find itself in constant conflict. Major

Apr. 2006 to Oct. 2006 POLICE MAJOR, COMMANDER OF THE CENTRAL DISTRICT

FIELD OPERATIONS DIVISION

City of Miami Police Department, Miami, Florida

Promoted to this senior staff position by Chief John F. Timoney to assist in

directing the uniformed patrol functions and community policing efforts in the

Central District. The Central District encompasses four neighborhoods

(Downtown, Allapattah, Overtown and Wynwood/Edgewater), is home to

some of the most important venues in the City of Miami and has a population

of over 167,000 merchants and residents.

Downtown currently contains over 13 million square feet of office space and 5

million square feet of retail space, providing employment to 104,000 people

on a daily basis. It is home to the American Airlines Arena, the Port of

Miami, the Night Club District, most of the Courthouses, the Miami Dade

College and the new Entertainment District.

Overtown is one of Miami s original neighborhoods, where African

Americans settled in the early 20th Century and built churches, restaurants,

residences, nightclubs and theaters. Today, the total population of Overtown

is approximately 9,000 persons and is predominately African American

(74%).

Allapattah is home to some of the finest medical facilities in the United States.

Institutions like the Bascom Palmer Eye Institute, the Ryder Trauma Center,

Cedars of Lebanon Hospital and the Veterans Administration Hospital are

located here. The total population of Allapattah is 39,486 persons (10.9% of

the City s population) and is mainly of Hispanic origin. The Dade Criminal

Justice Building, Dade County Jail, and the Public Health Department are

found steps away from each other. Centers of education, such as the Lindsey

Hopkins Adult Education Center, Miami Dade School of Medicine and Miami

Jackson High School, are also located in this area.

Wynwood/Edgewater is a diverse mix of high-rise condos; industrial chic

lofts; high, middle and low income families and old fashioned community

festivals. The neighborhood, including its thriving Puerto Rican and Latin

American communities, offers a cultural and commercial cross section of

contemporary life in Miami today. The Wynwood/Edgewater area has

approximately 15,149 residents.

The Central District law enforcement team is comprised of 3 Police

Commanders, 9 Neighborhood Resource Officers, 7 Lieutenants, 28 Sergeants

and 195 Police Officers and has a fiscal budget of nearly 30 million dollars.

The Central District also has three undercover Problem Solving Teams which

handle most of the street level narcotics enforcement and quality of life

concerns.

Because the Central District has the two largest homeless shelters in Miami,

Major Rivero developed a great working relationship with the Homeless

Coalition and the Homeless Assistance Center to ensure that the Pottinger

Agreement was followed.

Major Rivero initiated in July of 2006 a District COMPSTAT process where

commanders, lieutenants and sergeants were asked to present their crime

fighting strategies and the performance of their individual teams to better

coordinate their efforts.

He also assisted in creating and establishing the Critical Incident Review

Board where the department convenes a panel of senior staff members to

conduct an analysis and critique the way critical situations are handled by field

commanders. He produced a new project to create the position of Detention

Officer within the Department to facilitate the handling, transportation and

processing of prisoners.

David Rivero served as a member in the committee charged with rewriting the

departmental orders for the agency. He was also responsible for managing

the day-to-day operations of the headquarters building, including the security

for the facility. He acted as the Deputy Chief of Police in his/her absence,

overseeing the citywide crime fighting strategies of more than 700 uniformed

police officers and civilian personnel.

CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS SECTION

City of Miami Police Department, Miami, Florida

Responsible for the immediate supervision of six (6) police lieutenants,

assigning them to duties and checking their efficiency on current and prior

criminal investigations. These investigations consist of interviewing

witnesses, victims and offenders, gathering evidence, taking statements, and

preparing cases in a professional manner for prosecution in criminal court.

The Criminal Investigations Section contains six (6) main criminal

investigative units of the police department: Homicide, Sexual

Battery/Special Victims, Juvenile & Gangs, Economic Crimes Investigations,

Crime Scene Investigations (CSI), and Violent Crimes Intervention. He was

directly responsible for more than 170 sworn and civilian police

investigators, supervisors and lieutenants.

The Miami Police Department called upon then Captain Rivero to personally

lead the investigative efforts into several questionable police-involved

shooting incidents. Through a joint investigation with the FBI and the United

States Attorney s Office, 13 police officers were indicted for conspiracy to

violate civil rights in a pattern of gun planting incidents that started back in

1996. Two of the officers pled guilty and cooperated with the investigation

and several more were later convicted after lengthy trials. From the aftermath

of this investigation, he was asked to help rewrite the department s officer-

Police departmental order on how to conduct criminal investigations.

prosecution of crimes involving law enforcement officers as victims. This

committee is also responsible for ensuring that the police officers receive

proper training on handling these investigations, that the prosecution cases

against the offenders receive the highest quality assistant state attorney and

case file management, and that the victims are treated with the utmost of

respect, cooperation and professionalism.

new policy of videotaping interrogations. Worked on other projects such as

the creation of the CSI Forensics Processing Laboratory, the virtual case file

on CD-ROM project, and the creation of new Burglary and Robbery Units.

He was a founding father of the Domestic Violence Unit and the Violent

Crimes Intervention Unit..

During the late 1990 s the City of Miami was plagued by several violent

murders attributed to a ruthless narcotics gang known as the John Doe s.

Under his command, the Miami Police Homicide Unit initiated a proactive

community based approach to solving murders never attempted before. The

approach was unique in that the Homicide investigators were not targeting and

trying to solve the murders through conventional investigative methods but

rather they formed a partnership with the Liberty City NET, the FBI, ATF and

DEA to build narcotics, racketeering and minor crime cases against the murder

suspects. Through their efforts, 22 members of the gang were arrested and

convicted under RICO federal laws. The majority of the offenders received

life sentences, which is what they were facing had they been arrested for

murder in State Court. Violence and murders were nearly completely

eliminated from the Liberty City neighborhood during this time period.
