The City of Santa Cruz is soliciting proposals from qualified firms, consultants, or individuals to conduct a comprehensive staffing study for the City of Santa Cruz Police Department (SCPD). The study should include a comprehensive assessment of workload through both calls for service and other sustained operational commitments of the department, analysis based upon agreed staffing models and data, and recommendation to optimize the staffing structure of the SCPD, ensure the efficient allocation of resources, enhance operational effectiveness, and improve service delivery to the community for current and future needs. The City intends to award a single 12-month term contract, but may be extended as needed, to the vendor selected as the most qualified and responsive proposal conforming to the RFP and City’s requirements.
