DESCRIPTION

A government authority in Hopkinton, Massachusetts is seeking a contractor to provide public safety assessment services. The engagement calls for an independent review of existing safety, security, emergency preparedness, and interagency policies involving the school system, police department, fire department, and dispatch operations. The assessment will also examine current training and preparedness strategies.

The selected vendor will review written procedures to evaluate operational alignment and determine whether current frameworks adequately support coordinated response, communication, and administrative follow-through during significant incidents affecting schools and the broader community. This work includes collecting and analyzing policies, plans, procedures, and related guidance used by school leadership and municipal public safety agencies, including school emergency procedures, police critical incident policies, fire response protocols, dispatch procedures, and municipal coordination documents.

Because the primary focus is policy and procedure review, much of the work may be completed remotely through document analysis, virtual meetings, and scheduled consultation sessions. The contract term is expected to be one year.
