MQA Quarterly Performance Report

Q1 • Quarterly Performance Report • FY 2023-24 12 NATIONAL NIGHT OUT AGAINST CRIME MQA joined the Sunrise Police Department in August by participating in the annual National Night Out celebration to spread awareness about crime prevention resources and services. First established in 1984, this national family-friendly event also strengthens relationships between the community and law enforcement. Since the event is designed to generate support for and participation in local anti-crime programs, the Ft. Lauderdale ISU joined the mission with law enforcement partners by spreading awareness and encouraging attendees to remain vigilant in spotting unlicensed activity. MEET AND GREETS Networking through meet and greets is a vital, effective method the ULA Program uses to connect investigators to local law enforcement partners. Through answering questions and sharing information during meet and greets, partnerships are established and opportunities to get involved beyond the scope of the day-to-day role are created, building the Department’s ability to halt unlicensed health care activity, and increasing collective impact with industry partners to protect the health of Floridians and visitors. Miami ISU hosted a virtual meet and greet with the Florida International University Police Department. With virtual applications available to facilitate meetings, investigators are experiencing more participation from law enforcement partners, increasing the reach of the ULA Program, and promoting greater awareness of the dangers of unlicensed activity. Tampa ISU also coordinated a meet and greet with various law enforcement and regulatory agencies in August to discuss ULA practices and promote the ULA Program. In September, Pensacola ISU hosted a meet and greet with the Pensacola Police Department to create a stronger bond with leaders in the local community. In some instances, it may be necessary to arrest someone who is practicing without a license. When this occurs, our investigators collaborate with law enforcement to make the arrest.
