We assist law enforcement agencies and emergency communication centers in determining appropriate staff sizes, effective deployment of personnel, and optimized schedules that benefit the agency and the employees.
Having the "right" amount of people is not enough; they must also be deployed in the right place, scheduled at the right time, and their tasks must be documented for future needs analysis.
The appropriate staff size for an agency should be based on workload analysis over a multiyear period and the availability of the average employee.
Resource deployment should be based on an equitable beat design, informed by the agency's workload, using hundreds of small individual reporting areas.
Work scheduling can be one of the most volatile discussions within an agency. Yet, the greatest efficiencies in an agency are often found by optimizing the work schedule.
Good administrative decisions require good data. However, many agencies allow workloads such as report writing and follow-ups to go undocumented. Etico focuses on helping agencies document the workload they did not even know they were missing.
Etico Solutions is not a large consulting company boasting multiple offices and dozens of consultants. Our process is arduous, time-consuming, and comprehensive. Most of our work comes from former students and personal references from past clients.
Etico Solutions was based on the desire to run an ethical business. Deliver what you promise, don't compromise, do your very best even when no one is looking, and be honest with the results of your analysis.
Our mission is to use education, data analysis, and the latest research findings to help public safety agencies improve operations and services, improve officer health and safety, and create safer communities.
Our vision is to see public safety agencies implement research and data analysis into their resource allocation practices to determine appropriate staffing, optimal patrol beats, and employee work schedules that address the agency workload, create a healthy work/life balance for employees, and provide safer communities for their citizens.
Our goal is to blaze the trail of data collection and data analysis within government agencies to provide solutions for their staffing, deployment, and scheduling problems. By using their own workload data in a practical and repeatable manner, we provide immediate answers and a lasting methodology that the agency can continue.
