ICMA Renews Partnership with CPSM

on July 26, 2017 in News

The International City/County Management Association (ICMA) and the Center for Public Safety Management (CPSM) have renewed their longstanding partnership to provide public safety technical and chief selection services to cities and counties throughout the United States.

Testimonials

It was refreshing and very helpful to have CPSM’s consultants, who have deep rooted expertise and experience in the public safety industry, as advocates for finding more efficient and cost effective deployment strategies and options that would not have otherwise been presented by the departments. This very important study will now allow the City of Salinas to make essential changes to help make our fiscal future more sustainable.

CPSM's report was comprehensive and enhanced my understanding of the police operation. We recognize that continuous growth and improvement is critical to our police department's continued success. CPSM did an absolutely thorough review of the operation from the front door, through the facilities, management, specialties, and support functions. The entire process and report exceeded my expectations.

CPSM gave us everything we asked for and more. Quite honestly, I wish I had contracted for this report sooner, and I really can’t see myself ever taking another CEO job in law enforcement without making a CPSM evaluation part of my negotiation for employment. I want to personally thank Leonard and his team for an amazing piece of work.

Morgan Hill Fire and South Santa Clara County Fire Dist. contracted with CPSM to address the departments separately and together as we work in a regional model. CPSM was professional and timely in the report submission. The report was clear and concise with attainable recommendations, while being easy to present to and understand by policy makers and the public.

The City of Sugar Land has used CPSM successfully since the fall of 2016. CPSM completed their work, presenting over 20 suggestions for improvement in our Fire Department Overtime Exposure. After that positive experience, we decided to retain CPSM to do a complete management study of the Fire Department. Finally, this fiscal year, we have again retained CPSM to do a management study of our Police Department. The City of Sugar Land has received excellent results at a reasonable value from CPSM.

Working with staff from CPSM was a pleasure through every facet of the project: from the kick-off meeting to discussing the final report, staff from CPSM was responsive, communicative, professional, and knowledgeable. The team that conducted the on-site assessment was comprised of professionals that provided great advice and insight. We are very appreciative of their efforts and the resulting report, coupled with our strategic plan, has given us a roadmap to improve our operations.

We are experiencing tremendous value out of your work. It would be a long description the numerous ways in which this is taking place. The most important perhaps is cultural with respect to the utilization of data to inform decision-making and strategy. I am impressed by and please with the extent our department is undertaking initiatives stemming from their work with your team. I not only believe but think provable the impact already occurring on crime prevention.
