JTAC LAW ENFORCEMENT MANAGEMENT SERVICES
Police departments have a host of unique problems and issues that crop up from
time to time. We at JTAC Investigations, having been in law enforcement for over
thirty years, know what you’re up against! It seems like every year someone is
upset with your department and doesn’t like how it’s being managed or thinks
that you have too many people. Often it’s necessary for a new “study” or
“survey” to be done to reveal the problems that you face and, although it’s a
shame it has to be this way, most politicians insist that the survey or study be
done by an outside agency to insure credibility. We at JTAC can help you with
many of these needs.
Do you have enough
officers to adequately handle your calls for service? How do you know?
Perhaps,
like many other departments, you are facing budgetary constraints.
Sometimes it seems as though politicians are willing to fund anything
except public safety. Are you continually trying to convince your
elected officials that staffing levels are critical to maintain adequate
response times, high clearance rates, positive morale, etc.? It may not
be that the politicians don't believe your requests for more officers,
but sometimes they pay less attention than they should because they
"expect" you to say you need more officers especially if you cannot back
up your needs with data.
Do you have
a specific administrative or operational concern that should be
addressed, but don't have the time, expertise or manpower to study these
problems?
Some chiefs
are looking at lack of funding for training, or supervisory positions
not being filled, or need an objective analysis of high liability areas
such as evidence handling, fiscal management, etc. How can you
objectively analyze these needs and report to your politicians? Do you
think they are tired of your repetitive comments (they might call it
"complaining") at the monthly board meeting? Let us objectively evaluate
your needs in any number of high liability areas and offer an
administrative study with documented findings and specific
recommendations.
Are you
considering consolidating your police department with a neighboring
agency but don't know how to determine staffing needs or objectively
plan other critical administrative matters?
Small
municipalities are continually facing the need to balance public safety
with fiscal soundness. Sometimes this leads to the threat (or reality)
of consolidating police services between municipalities. This is a major
step that needs to be carefully planned by police professionals --- not
politicians!
JTAC Police
Management Services can help! We can provide an administrative study of
your department that will fit your needs:
-
a general
administrative study can examine staffing needs and combine this
with a review and analysis of the top high liability areas within
your department
-
a limited
administrative study can objectively and quantitatively measure
staffing levels or offer specific recommendations on operational or
administrative concerns
Management studies can also be a pro-active way of preventing lawsuits
and reducing your risk of liability. These can also put your politicians
on notice as to deficiencies within your department that they should
correct once they are made aware of them.
