- Summary:
- Many local jurisdictions participate in law enforcement services contracting as either providers or consumers of police services, and both providers and consumers gain financial and organizational benefits. This report presents basic issues of law enforcement contracting between public entities and some of the key ingredients of a contractual relationship that is beneficial to both the customer and the provider. It defines the roles and responsibilities of the key players in a contractual relationship. It discusses pitfalls and objections to law enforcement contracting. And it also provides guidance on successful contract and costing-model composition. Both parties to the contract must agree on a contract model. The consumer jurisdiction must understand what it is buying. The provider agency must set up a contract services section and a budget office dedicated to contracts and train its personnel for contract assignments.
