Law Enforcement Feasibility Study Service

The Charter Township of Lake Orion, Michigan, is seeking a qualified vendor to conduct a comprehensive law enforcement feasibility study. The agency needs to evaluate its current law enforcement service model and assess alternative service delivery options to determine the most effective path forward. This evaluation includes analyzing the potential establishment of an agency-operated police department, continuing the current contracting model, or implementing hybrid and shared service models. The scope of work requires a thorough review of current operations, staffing levels, performance metrics, and the existing contract structure. The selected vendor must analyze historical and projected costs, ensuring these financial projections align with police millage revenues. Additionally, the project covers stakeholder engagement, benchmarking Township service levels and costs against comparable communities, and assessing current and future service needs. The agency requires a workload-based analysis of calls for service by type and time of day, response times, and officer availability to determine appropriate staffing levels. Eligible bidders must be onshore organizations based in the United States. The performance of the contract work must take place onsite in Lake Orion, Michigan. The agency is currently looking for proposals to establish the budget for this project. Bidders must submit all questions regarding this opportunity no later than June 12, 2026.
