The Miami-Dade County Commission on Ethics and Public Trust is an independent agency with advisory and quasi-judicial powers, established in 1996 through a citizens' vote to amend the Home Rule charter. Composed of five members serving staggered terms, the agency aims to build trust and confidence in local government by promoting ethical behavior and providing training sessions for government employees, lobbyists, residents, candidates, elected officials, and advisory board members.
With a mission to ensure transparency and accountability, the Commission on Ethics and Public Trust enforces ethical standards through the filing and investigation of complaints, as well as the issuance of formal and informal opinions. The agency also provides resources such as ordinances, resolutions, financial disclosures, and limitations on political activities. Through its efforts, the Commission strives to maintain the integrity of Miami-Dade County's government and foster a culture of ethical conduct among its officials and employees.
