Special Events
ULTRA - Downtown Resident Traffic Guide
The City of Miami is not only a major travel destination for visitors from around the world, but is also a major venue for a wide range of special events, including national level political conventions, music concerts,
entertainment industry filming activities, and a wide variety of national and international conferences. The safety of the residents and visitors that attend these events is a primary concern of the Miami Police Department.
An element of the Field Operations Division's Specialized Operations Section, the Special Events Unit is responsible for the planning, implementation, and analysis of police services required to maintain public safety for residents and
visitors who attend these special events in the City of Miami. Additionally, the Unit is responsible for the management of the Extra-Duty Employment program, which includes monitoring roadway construction projects, utility maintenance
work and related functions, which temporarily close streets or sidewalks and impede the normal flow of vehicular or pedestrian traffic. The Extra-Duty employees will control traffic in the vicinity of the construction sites. The Special
Events Unit is also responsible for the issuance of all permits required for street and sidewalk closures, as well as all demonstration/assembly permits. Under the command of a police lieutenant, the staff interacts with event sponsors
for pre-event planning and assessment of the staffing requirements, documentation, payroll and post-event analysis.
