Organizational & Policy Development
As public safety agencies struggle with financial constraints and other challenges, many are finding it necessary to evaluate their organization. A key part of the solution is to answer two basic, yet critical, questions:
- Is your organization delivering the optimal level of services given your budgetary constraints?
- How do organizational structures, processes, and culture affect performance?
Faced with time and resource constraints, leaders often cannot undertake
the analysis needed for an accurate assessment. Even if this can be
achieved, the ability to objectively assess an organization from an
internal perspective is difficult, if not impossible. Simply stated,
organizational assessments are most useful and accurate when performed
by objective professionals, bringing unbiased analysis and innovative
ideas.
Our consultants possess substantial experience. We provide both knowledge
and objectivity to your organization. We help achieve optimal results
because we are results oriented. Our approach is to demonstrate an
overriding attitude: Be part of the solution, not the problem. We manifest
this on many levels and in many ways.
We understand that every agency has different needs and constraints. In
some circumstances, a limited or targeted assessment is most appropriate.
For example, a particular policy, such as use of force, may have been
a source of liability and/or complaints. In other cases, a more
detailed or comprehensive analysis may be necessary. As such, the
scope of our assessment is based on your circumstances. Depending
upon your decision, our services may involve the following topics and
issues:
- Productivity Standards and Statistics
- Personnel/Union Relations
- Employee Morale & Incentives
- Administrative Policies & Procedures
- Labor & Inter-Agency Agreements
- Crime Statistics
- Financial, Budget & Tax Revenues
- Training Curriculum & Policies
- Civil Liability Exposures & Preventive Methods
