The Problem We Solve
A city can hire to the right number of officers and still be exposed. Dispatch can go dark from ransomware. A surveillance program can run without the governance and oversight its jurisdiction expects. An insider can misuse records access. A command staff can be stretched past the point where supervision means anything.
These risks share people, systems, and budgets, so they belong in the same assessment. Apogee is built to see them together. Our advisors have run operations inside federal law enforcement and the Marine Corps, and they have led security for global technology companies. They have answered for all three kinds of risk: physical, cyber, and human.
What We Assess
Defensible, workload-based staffing for every unit, from patrol to investigations to support.
Five- and ten-year staffing needs under low, medium, and high demand scenarios.
Put sworn authority where it is needed and send the right responder to every call.
Structure and schedules that hold up under real demand and real people.
A policy foundation that guards against liability and supports a healthy culture.
The systems a department runs on, assessed by people who have defended them.
Technology that earns community trust because it is governed in the open.
An investigative standard applied to the risks inside the department.
Developing the people who carry the badge and the decisions that come with it.
Engage any area as a standalone study, or combine them into one integrated department assessment. Apogee assesses, designs, and governs. We do not sell, install, or maintain equipment, so our recommendations carry no vendor interest.
Our Method
Kickoff with the city manager and chief, then a data request and interviews across ranks and units. We agree on the questions the study must answer before we start answering them.
Data from CAD, RMS, payroll, and scheduling, checked for quality and documented. Ride-alongs, site visits, an employee survey, and community input sessions.
Workload-based staffing for patrol and non-patrol units, peer benchmarking with stated selection criteria, and the technology and risk review scoped for the engagement. Every assumption is written down.
Each recommendation comes with an FTE impact, a cost impact, a priority, and an owner. Draft findings are reviewed with command staff before anything is final.
A phased implementation plan, a council or board presentation, and the staffing model handed over with documentation so your analysts can rerun it next year without us.

Common Questions
Apogee's Principal Advisors bring backgrounds in federal, state, and local law enforcement, grounding our assessments in practitioner experience across levels of government. A traditional staffing study asks how many people you need. We answer that question with workload-based rigor, then assess the technology, cyber exposure, policy, and integrity risks that staffing numbers do not show. You get one report and one set of priorities.
No. Our method scales from small municipal agencies to large departments. We focus on mid-size cities and counties that need a senior team, not a junior one.
Yes. Every staffing model is handed over with documentation and training so your analysts can update it as conditions change.
No. We hold no reseller agreements and take no vendor fees. Our technology recommendations are vendor-neutral.
Yes. We interview across ranks, survey employees, and document every assumption so findings can be discussed openly with labor partners.
Yes. We review equipment and surveillance technology inventories, use policies, reporting, and privacy governance against the requirements that apply in your jurisdiction, and we prepare materials for council or oversight body review.
