==Wackenhut and Miami-Dade==
A dispute between the Wackenhut corporation and [[Miami-Dade Transit]] arose from allegations made by a former employee. Michelle Trimble claimed that G4S Wackenhut over-billed Miami-Dade County for work that had not been performed. As a result of the allegations of that lawsuit, the County ordered an audit of the contract in 2005. That audit was completed in 2009 and came up with an amount of estimated overbillings. In response, G4S Wackenhut filed a lawsuit in federal court alleging, among other things, that the audit's findings were erroneous.<ref>{{cite news|url =http://www.miaminewtimes.com/2009-05-07/news/wackenhut-stands-up-to-miami-dade/|title =Wackenhut Stands up to Miami-Dade: Security firm denies ripping off the county and fires back with a $20 million lawsuit.|date =2010-05-07|access-date =2010-04-20|newspaper =Miami New Times|archive-date =2012-04-03|archive-url =https://web.archive.org/web/20120403035219/http://www.miaminewtimes.com/2009-05-07/news/wackenhut-stands-up-to-miami-dade/|url-status =dead}}</ref>

In February 2010, the issue was resolved, and Miami-Dade County commissioners approved a $7.5 million settlement agreement with Wackenhut to resolve the dispute. The settlement deal had $3 million going to the county, $1.25 million for whistle-blower Trimble, whose lawsuit led the county to launch its own audit, and $3.25 million going to Trimble's attorneys. As part of the deal, Wackenhut was allowed to bid on future contracts and the county agreed not to use this case against it when considering Wackenhut's bids.<ref>{{cite news|url =http://southflorida.bizjournals.com/southflorida/stories/2010/02/15/daily47.html|title =Wackenhut, Miami-Dade settle legal battle|date =2010-02-18|access-date =2010-04-20
