Jhemson Desroches has interviewed to become a full-time public safety officer at North Campus six times.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The 26-year-old, who has worked part-time at Miami Dade College for five years, said he struggles to make ends meet on his $10 an hour wage. To augment his earnings, Desroches works an additional 30 hours a week as a Publix bagger while also pursuing a bachelor\u2019s degree at Florida International University.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Desroches says if he became full-time, he could quit his second job. He is like many of the 52 part-time public safety officers at North Campus work multiple jobs to stay afloat.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you\u2019re part-time, you\u2019re always looking for a better job,\u201d Victor Moreno, public safety chief at North Campus said. \u201cIt\u2019s not a lot of money.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Desroches\u2019 wish might come true soon. During the Nov. 12 Board of Trustees meeting, Interim College President Rolando Montoya announced the College will hire 35 additional full-time public safety officers college-wide to enhance safety at MDC.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The increase includes <\/span>15<\/b> full-time officers at North Campus, <\/span>12<\/b> at Kendall Campus, <\/span>four<\/b> at Hialeah Campus, <\/span>three<\/b> at Wolfson Campus, and <\/span>one<\/b> at Medical Campus. Homestead, West and Eduardo J. Padr\u00f3n Campus did not receive staff increases.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c[It] goes a long way and will allow us to address the personnel needs on all our shifts,\u201d said Brian Stokes, senior director of campus administration at Kendall Campus. \u201cThe culture has changed over the years since there has been a rash of shootings at colleges, universities and schools. It\u2019s important to have more visible public personnel and maintain a climate where people feel they\u2019re safe.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

College administrators made the decision after analyzing the number of full-time officers needed to cover all eight campuses, based on their size and student population.\u00a0 <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I looked at the numbers, I said, \u2018this is not enough.\u2019\u201d Montoya said. \u201cWhen you have so many [students], you could have a surprise or exception. It takes a quarter of a percentage point or somebody trying to do something weird, and that destroys the peace we\u2019ve had for 60 years. The extra protection, in my opinion, was necessary.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

There will also be an increase in service hours for <\/span>police officers that patrol<\/span> the College, thanks to<\/span> a one million dollar increase in the public safety budget college-wide, Montoya said.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMinor incidents, our public safety officers can handle,\u201d Montoya said. \u201cHowever, if you have a more serious type of crime, the officers quickly call the off-duty police officers who [are] on campus. That person has more authority. That person can quickly call colleagues from the [City of Miami] or [Miami-Dade County].\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

College officials are hoping the additional positions will bring stability to the force.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

According to MDC, the public safety department turnover rate is 3%. Moreno said four to five part-time officers at North Campus have quit between October and November, with the monthly average being two to three staffers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe turnover rate is going to be less,\u201d Moreno said. \u201cI\u2019m not going to say it\u2019s going to eliminate it. Like I said, people are always going to look for better opportunities. But, it\u2019s going to decrease it a lot. It takes time for [the officers] to learn the job, so someone in the field is going to have a learning curve. Having a full-time [officer], we\u2019d have that less.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The College said they will continue to assess how to improve their public safety<\/span><\/a> operations. Future endeavors include evaluating the salaries of full-time and part-time officers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Currently, a full-time public safety officer I earns an average hourly rate of $16.15 and public safety officer II earns an average $17.04 an hour, according to Iliana Castillo-Frick, vice provost of Human Resources. Part-time officers earn $10 an hour and can work no more than 25 hours a week.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
