The goal of the staffing study is to assist the Little Rock PD by analyzing aspects of its management and operations, with a focus on staffing levels and personnel deployments. IACP will accomplish the following tasks as part of this engagement: Examine the policing environment and assemble contextual information from the department; Administer workforce and community surveys to assess conditions and practices within the department and gather feedback on police performance and perceptions; Conduct interviews with agency employees and community stakeholders; and author an assessment report with practical, prioritized recommendations for upgrading the effectiveness and productivity of police services.
The city of Little Rock, Arkansas is interested in engaging IACP to conduct a systematic evaluation of the management and operation of the Little Rock Police Department (PD), with an emphasis on assessing the following: sworn and non-sworn staffing levels and personnel deployments within the police department and dispatch sections; zoned policing structures; work schedules; community engagement; collaboration and partnerships; and the effective and efficient delivery of police services. The staffing study will enable the Little Rock PD to evaluate itself in the context of other departments nationwide and glean lessons learned from other cities to better align the department’s resources to meet challenges and community expectations related to violent crime. If the provider determines that changes to the structure of the department are necessary, the study will offer concrete suggestions for adjusting the size of the department and remedying any shortcomings. The department will provide crime offense and call- and caseload data, payroll and overtime data, and any other information or logistical support required to perform the study.
