Miami Condos; Will They Get Their Own Police Force?

Soon Florida could have condominium cops who would bust those who defraud community associations.

The state officers would have the authority to inspect the records and premises of any state regulated community: Miami condos, homeowners, cooperatives, mobile home parks and timeshares. Any cases they uncover would be handed over to a state attorney's office.

"We are getting so many cases of potential fraud that most local police departments are too overwhelmed to deal with them," said Rep. Julio Robaina, who filed House Bill 1397, proposing the new police force. "And most often they are low priorities for police who must worry about robberies and murders. So, nothing happens. But all this police force will do is condo fraud cases."
