This initiative represents a crucial step toward ensuring the <br />37 department’s long-term success and reinforcing the resilience of the Roseville community. <br />38 <br />39 Equity Impact Summary <br />40 The proposed staffing assessment aims to advance equity and inclusion by aligning strategies and <br />41 resource allocations with the diverse needs of the community. This assessment provides an important <br />42 opportunity to evaluate current operations, identify service gaps, and ensure the equitable <br />43 distribution of police resources throughout Roseville. By conducting a comprehensive review of the <br />44 Roseville Police Department’s operations, the study will help tailor police services to the unique <br />45 needs and values of all community members, with particular focus on historically under-served or <br />46 marginalized groups. <br />47 <br />48 A cornerstone of the assessment is meaningful community engagement, emphasizing input from <br />49 underrepresented groups. Hearing from residents with diverse perspectives, including the <br />50 Multicultural Advisory Committee, is vital to understanding how the department can address safety <br />51 concerns and priorities effectively. This engagement will help shape policies and strategies, ensuring <br />52 public safety services are equitable, inclusive, and reflective of the entire community’s needs and <br />53 expectations. <br />54 <br />55 This initiative supports Roseville’s mission to provide ethical, efficient, and responsive local <br />56 government in pursuit of community aspirations. It underscores the city’s commitment to fostering a <br />57 strong, vibrant, and sustainable community for current and future generations. By promoting equity, <br />58 transparency, and accountability in public safety, the evaluation will enhance the alignment of police <br />59 services with these goals. The assessment will also play a crucial role in building trust and <br />60 collaboration between the police department and the community. Involving residents in this process <br />61 will strengthen public trust and contribute to the department’s long-term success. By addressing the <br />62 community’s evolving needs and expectations, the study will help ensure a responsive, inclusive, <br />63 and effective approach to public safety. <br />64 <br />65 See attached Equity and Inclusion Toolkit for additional analysis. <br />66 <br />67 Budget Implications <br />68 The cost for the comprehensive staffing study by The Axtell Group is $79,900.

This evaluation is a critical step toward aligning RPD’s <br />75 operations with community needs and expectations while enhancing resource allocation and improving <br />76 overall operational effectiveness. <br />77 <br />78 Requested Council Action <br />79 Approve the Professional Services Agreement with The Axtell Group to conduct a comprehensive <br />80 evaluation of police resources and operational efficiency of the Roseville Police Department (RPD). <br />81 <br />82 <br />Erika Scheider, Chief of Police <br />Prepared by: <br />Page 2 of 3 <br />Qbhf!311!pg!33: <br /> <br />
