34 The City of Roseville is committed to providing ethical, efficient, and responsive public safety services 35 that reflect the values and evolving needs of the community. The findings of The Axtell Group’s 36 evaluation confirmed that current staffing levels and operational models within the Roseville Police 37 Department have not kept pace with increased service demands, organizational complexity, and modern 38 policing expectations. 39 The proposed five-year implementation plan addresses mission-critical staffing needs, enhancing 40 internal operations, and promoting transparency and trust in public safety services. 41 42 43 Equity Impact Summary 44 The implementation of the five-year plan is grounded in the City of Roseville’s commitment to equity, 45 inclusion, and community-centered policing. The Axtell Group’s evaluation emphasized the need to 46 ensure that public safety resources are responsive to the diverse needs of the entire community— 47 including those who have been historically underrepresented or underserved. 48 This plan incorporates recommendations that will improve service delivery, increase transparency, and 49 expand community engagement. By addressing staffing gaps, the plan supports a more consistent and 50 responsive level of service across the entire community. Enhancements to internal communication, 51 wellness initiatives, and officer development also aim to build a more resilient and responsive workforce. 52 Ongoing community engagement, especially in the implementation of operational changes, will be 53 essential. The department will continue to seek input from a broad cross-section of residents and 54 community partners to ensure that decisions reflect shared priorities and that all voices are heard. 55 56 57 Budget Implications 58 At this time, no financial action is being requested. The Council is being asked only to receive the five- 59 year implementation plan developed in response to The Axtell Group’s evaluation of the Roseville Police 60 Department. 61 However, it is important to note that several of the plan’s recommendations—particularly those related to 62 staffing—will have future budget implications. The Police Department plans to incorporate high-priority 63 items from Phase One of the implementation plan into its 2026 budget request for City Manager and 64 Council consideration. 65 To help offset the potential cost of adding four patrol officer positions in 2026, RPD has submitted an 66 application to the U.S. Department of Justice through the COPS Hiring Program. If awarded, the grant 67 would provide up to $125,000 per officer over three years, reducing the financial impact to the city. 68 Notification of grant awards is expected in fall 2025. 69 Because the implementation plan is designed to be phased over five years, additional funding requests 70 will be brought forward in future budget cycles as each phase is evaluated, prioritized, and aligned with 71 available resources. 72 73 74 Staff Recommendations 75 Staff recommends that the City Council formally receive the Roseville Police Department’s Five-Year 76 Implementation Plan, developed in response to The Axtell Group’s operational evaluation. No formal 77 action is requested at this time beyond receipt of the report. 78 Page 2 of 3 Qbhf!4!pg!488
