The assessment provides an opportunity to review current operations, identify any service 66 gaps, and ensure the fair and equitable distribution of police resources throughout Roseville. By taking a 67 holistic look at RPD’s operations, the study will help us better understand how to align services with the 68 unique needs and values of all segments of the community, particularly those who may have been 69 historically underserved or marginalized. 70 71 A key component of this assessment is engaging with the community to ensure that their voices are 72 heard, especially from underrepresented groups.

Hearing directly from these groups will help shape the department’s 75 priorities, making sure that RPD’s service delivery matches the expectations and safety concerns of the 76 entire Roseville population. 77 78 Roseville's mission is to provide ethical, efficient, and responsive local government in support of 79 community aspirations.
