2/9/00
The City of Fort Collins seeks through a Request for Proposals (RFP) process qualified
individuals and firms to perform an analysis of staff capacity and deployment options for the Fort
Collins Police Department (FCPD). The Consultant will review appropriate staffing
methodologies with the City and apply the selected methodology to the study.
Background and Purpose
Police services represents one of the City’s largest Budget expenditures. This reflects the
importance of effective policing to the community and the priority that elected officials and the
public accord public safety. Currently there is significant interest in the appropriate police
strength. However, because of the challenge associated with sustaining the present budgetary
commitment, not to mention increasing it, the City of Fort Collins is undertaking a Police Staffing
Study to (a) help determine the appropriate level of staffing in Patrol, Traffic, Detectives,
Administration, Dispatch, Records, Lab-Evidence for the Department to meet its staffing
requirements and (b) help develop deployment strategies that use staff in the most effective
manner. The study should recognize the relationships between staffing in Patrol, Traffic,
Detectives, Administration, Dispatch, Records, Lab-Evidence and other specialized units in
making its recommendations pertaining overall staffing. The study should also take into account
the special needs of ‘Party’ enforcement in a college town and the needs of the Old Town
Business District policing effort.
In 1988 the City completed a Staffing Study and Plan is available for review at this link:
http://citydocs.fcgov.com/?vid=10&cmd=search&scope=doctype&dt=CORRESPONDENCE&q=
STAFFING+STUDY
Research has demonstrated the value of targeting Police resources to areas where crime is
most prevalent. The Department’s system for prioritizing response to calls for service reflects
the need to direct resources where the need is most urgent. However, given limited resources,
targeting resources and prioritizing response may lead to reduced police presence in certain
areas of the City and to a relatively slower response to lower priority service calls.
Therefore, the City is defining the questions to be addressed in this Study in terms of “capacity”
to provide levels of service to the community. This engagement should provide:
• A methodology that is a task-based analytic approach that allows conclusions to be
made regarding the difference between the existing level of staffing in Patrol, Traffic,
Detectives, Administration, Dispatch, Records, Lab-Evidence staff capacity, and the
level of staff required in order to provide desired police service levels. In effect, the
engagement will develop a “gap analysis.”
• A methodology that provides information that enables the FCPD to implement patrol
deployment strategies that use available resources most effectively. The engagement
should produce a template that the FCPD can apply to its decisions to allocate staff.
2/9/00
Proposer Qualifications
Eligible proposers will be those consultants, companies, and institutions that have the following
qualifications:
1. Experience and expertise in regard to the operations, structure, and service delivery of
modern police departments that operate in urbanized North American settings.
2. Demonstrated access to experienced law enforcement professionals with expertise in
policing, community policing and staff deployment on the consultants team.
3. Knowledge and experience in the application of various methodologies to the analysis of
police patrol staff capacity and to the development of police patrol deployment
strategies.
4. A demonstrated track record at having advised medium to large municipal police
departments and in making recommendations that have resulted in improvements to
police patrol operations and management.
5. Ability to involve City Council, City Management and FCPD staff actively during the
engagement so that the department has a thorough understanding of the Consultant’s
final recommendation.
Scope of Services Deliverables
1. Facilitate the development of a staffing formulae which will serve the City for many
years. This effort must involve the Fort Collins Police Department management and the
City Managers Office, the City Council Public Safety sub-committee, as well as any other
individuals the City chooses to assign. The purpose of these performance expectations
is to ensure that recommendations about FCPD staffing and deployment are made in the
context of level of service, and so that management will be able to estimate the impact
that FCDP staffing and deployment alternatives have on level of service to the
community. This effort should be able to compare the performance expectations used in
the study with the performance of police staffs in other North American cities that are
similar to Fort Collins in terms of population density and crime rates. This effort should
also take into consideration the impact that performance expectations will have on crime
reduction and citizen perceptions of police responsiveness.
The performance expectations should include the following dimensions:
• Response time to Priority 1, 2, 3, and 4 calls (Specific response time goals for
each priority).
• Amount of time for proactive policing (unobligated time). The development of this
expectation should take into account the tradeoffs between proactive policing
and response time.
• Minimum level of patrol visibility in each Police District.
• What vacancy factor should be used when looking at police staffing availability.
2/9/00
• Review of the use of overtime versus additional staff to meet increasing needs.
• Review the history of growth and crime in Fort Collins.
• How can the FCPD adequately respond to the current demand.
• What are the projected growth trends in Fort Collins.
• What is the FCPD ability to meet the growth in demand.
• Ability to meet the special needs of ‘Party’ enforcement in a college town and the
needs of the Old Town Business District policing effort
• Review staffing in Patrol, Traffic, Detectives, Administration, Dispatch, Records,
Lab-Evidence.
• Deployment of human resources, 3-12’s, 4-10’s, 5-8’s proportionally based.
• Supervisory/Management ratios (Span of Control and Numbers versus Need)
• Ability to practice Community Oriented Policing.
• Projection of localized number or plan to meet service needs, current and future.
• Comparison to similar cities for staffing ratios, business practices and
technology. The Consultant will recommend additional peer Cities for inclusion
including, Ann Arbor, MI and Eugene, OR. The City has used the following cities
as benchmarks for other studies.
• Bellevue, WA
• Boulder CO
• Broken Arrow, OK
• Fremont, CA
• Garland TX
• Naperville, IL
• Norman, OK
• Olathe, KS
• Overland Park, KS
• Plano, TX
• Richardson, TX
• Scottsdale, AZ
2. Review various staffing methodologies with the City. Use the selected methodology to
document current FCPD patrol practices. The purpose of this Deliverable is to help evaluate
the adequacy of both existing patrol staffing levels and their deployment to Police Districts
and shifts. The consultant chosen for the engagement will use three years’ of FCPD
2/9/00
workload data in order to document the FCPD’s workload and allocation of staff to that
workload. The documentation should include:
• Frequency data regarding the FCPD’s workload over the last three years, organized
according to the Department’s call for service codes.
• An analysis of the distribution of the workload by Police District; day of the week; and
the time of day. The analysis should quantify the disparity between workload and
available staff by District and by shift. The analysis should take into account FCPD’s
operational objectives and performance expectations, as defined under Deliverable #
1.
• An estimate of the total patrol staff requirements for FCPD under its current District
and shift configurations. The estimate should categorize the patrol staff
requirements according to administrative, reactive, self-initiated, and uncommitted
patrol. The estimate should also include requirements for field supervision of patrol
staff.
3. Using the chosen staffing methodology, the performance expectations developed through
Deliverable # 1 and the workload analysis that is specified in Deliverable # 2 to develop an
optimal distribution of Police patrol personnel by District, workday, and shift. This
deliverable should indicate the number of Police patrol personnel necessary to implement
the optimal distribution according to administrative, reactive, self-initiated, and uncommitted
patrol. The distribution should also include requirements for field supervision of patrol staff.
The conclusions will need to take into consideration FCPD’s performance expectations and
operational objectives. This analysis must identify any limitations that existing collective
bargaining agreements place on the implementation of the optimal allocation.
4. A first draft of the optimal distribution should be presented to the FCPD management for its
review within forty-five days or less of the City’s notification of approval to proceed with the
project.
5. The consultant shall develop a final draft of an optimal allocation within forty-five calendar
days of the City’s transmittal of its comments and questions regarding the first draft.
6. Deliverable 3 should take into consideration any information that the City may provide
regarding the potential reconfiguration of Police District boundaries.
7. Meetings:
• A meeting with the City Manager at the kick off and at the time of preliminary
findings.
• The consultant selected for this engagement shall allow for two presentations to
City Council or Council Committees, in addition to other meetings with City
personnel involved with the study.
2/9/00
• The consultant(s) selected for this engagement shall present a written report with
complete documentation of findings and recommendations pertaining to all
Deliverables.
