The government authority located in Andover, Kansas is seeking a qualified vendor to conduct a comprehensive law enforcement staffing and workload study service. The study will evaluate current staffing allocation and workload distribution across all functional areas, analyze service demand, performance and efficiency, and project future staffing requirements for the next 5–10 years. The selected vendor will be expected to deliver actionable and defensible recommendations to guide strategic planning, budgeting, Kansas accreditation, and to address community safety expectations.
