The City of Richmond has initiated an Emergency Services Study of its Police and Fire departments. Public input is important to this process so please see opportunities to attend community meetings below. We will be discussing a wide range of topics related to police and fire services in Richmond. Your input is essential.
Background
On October 19, 2021, City Council voted to direct staff to issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) for a consultant with experience analyzing emergency services data.
A comprehensive assessment of the types of emergencies residents report and our city’s response to calls for service would help our city improve service delivery and determine where resources are needed.
