Public Safety (Law Enforcement)

Our law enforcement consultants perform the following studies

Workload, Performance, and Staffing Studies

Citygate provides in-depth workload and scheduling analyses based on your local fact pattern. We help you maximize workforce contribution and operational efficiency and help you make key decisions regarding staffing, scheduling, beat configuration, and related operational and officer safety configurations essential for the effectiveness and efficiency of your police department.

Consolidation , Shared Services, and Separation Studies

Citygate performs detailed feasibility and implementation studies for consolidations, contract-for-services, and other forms of regional law enforcement services. We have performed over 25 public safety consolidation studies, and we know of no other firm with near the same level of consolidation expertise.

Management Structures

In addition to staffing analysis, we conduct reviews of headquarters staff and program needs for effective agency management, supervision, and regulatory compliance.

Development Impacts

Citygate provide development plan review services for law enforcement, life safety, traffic, and crime prevention through environmental design.

    "This audit is like a road map. We know where we want to go as a police department, and it's telling us how to get there." (The Mayor stressed implementation for all 27 of Citygate's recommendations within six months)

    Operational & Management Consultants

    Citygate Associates’ Public Safety Consulting practice delivers a unique blend of extensive experience, theory, and context-based application of public safety best practices. More than just an analysis of data, we provide insight into the current organizational culture in which that data is generated to produce actionable, evidence-based options for moving forward.

    We perform rational, neutral performance reviews based on best practices. Citygate is not owned by a parent or standards-setting organization, so we will tell you what you need to hear within your fact pattern.

    Citygate's Experience

    Citygate’s qualifications serving the public sector are exceptional. We have completed more than 500 consulting engagements over nearly 25 years. More specifically, our experience conducting police department management, staffing, and organizational assessments, coupled with our outstanding client track record and extensive expertise in data analysis, sworn and civilian operations, and oversight, make Citygate the obvious choice for your next project.

    Citygate has completed workload and scheduling plan audits, conducted public safety Joint Powers Authority feasibility studies involving several agency partners, as well as completed police department consolidation studies. Many of these studies required comprehensive review of calls for service, workload, cost analysis, and a host of other components, as well as extensive data evaluation, literature review, and interviews and surveys with department personnel and community members.

    Within recent years, Citygate has completed three police department reviews for the Cities of Provo, Utah; Maricopa, Arizona; and Goodyear, Arizona. These three studies each resulted in approximately 30 specific action-item recommendations, all of which were accepted and are in the process of being implemented. In fact, 16 of our 29 recommendations for the City of Maricopa had already been implemented at the time we made our public Final Report presentation!
