Staffing and Operational Study Services

The Vendor is required to provide to conduct a comprehensive staffing and operational study for the village department.
- Professional, objective, and data-driven analysis and recommendations guided by established industry standards and best practices, which will provide added value to the Village’s future planning, budgeting, and decision-making.
- Staffing Analysis - Determine appropriate sworn and non-sworn staffing levels for all department functions, considering workload, community characteristics, and industry standards. Provide a comparative analysis with peer municipalities to understand the value and service levels those staffing numbers provide.
- Community and Stakeholder Engagement - Develop a communications plan and gather input from internal and external stakeholders through interviews, surveys, and/or focus groups to ensure recommendations are contextually relevant and reflect community needs and expectations
- Recommendations and Final Deliverables - The study must conclude with a comprehensive report and presentation that provides clear, actionable guidance for future decision-making.
- The report should provide specific, data-supported recommendations regarding optimal staffing levels, deployment strategies, and operational efficiencies. Where possible, recommendations should be linked to tangible community outcomes, such as improving police visibility in neighborhoods, enhancing emergency response times, or creating a framework for expanding community engagement programs.
- Workload and Deployment Analysis - Conduct a detailed analysis of calls for service, crime data, traffic statistics, and other performance metrics to evaluate patrol beats, shift schedules, and officer deployment strategies.
