What we do

Services Built for the Way Public Safety Problems Actually Arrive.

Rarely as a single tidy question. A department needs more people, but the building cannot hold them; the building needs replacing, but there is no funding source; the funding source requires a referendum, which requires a defensible number.

Adjacent capabilities

Work That Does Not Fit a Category.

A number of our engagements sit alongside the principal service lines. We are frequently retained for these on their own as well as within a larger scope.

  • Technology needs assessment. Evaluation of communications, records management, computer-aided dispatch, in-car and body-worn systems, and evidence management, with procurement planning and lifecycle cost.
  • Hiring and retention planning. Recruitment pipeline analysis, separation and exit data review, and targeted retention strategy including non-monetary measures.
  • Organizational development. Structure, command relationships, span of control, performance evaluation frameworks, and policy and procedure development.
  • Referendum and public awareness support. Communication strategy and presentation materials for bond, tax, and voter referendum questions.
  • Site selection. Evaluation and comparison of candidate sites against operational response, security, expansion, and cost criteria.
  • Corrections staffing and compensation. Staffing analysis and compensation studies for jails, detention facilities, and sheriff’s corrections divisions. We do not undertake facility programming, population management, or sentencing policy work in the corrections setting.

Tell Us What Your Agency Is Facing.

Most agencies call us about a budget request, a growth pressure, or the start of a facility project. A short conversation is usually enough to tell you whether a study is the right next step, and what it would involve.
