EPSTEIN, ity AtkMey CONTRACTOR By: Name: IG iL (Z ei Title: Exhibit 1 San Rafael Police Department Organizational Improvement Draft Work Plan 10/31/2016 V2 Task 1— Document review and data collection. 1.1 The first phase is designed around the collection of applicable information and data to include: department policies, manuals, newsletter, and press releases. Review the surveys conducted by the San Rafael Police Association (contingent on cooperation of SRPA) and labor agreements. Review information and data related to recruitment, resignations, promotions, commendations, and discipline. Review budgets with attention to the goals related to public safety. Estimated time: 4-8 hours Task 2 — Employee Engagement 2.1 Interviews will be conducted with key stakeholders including the City Manager, Chief, Captains, SRPA President, and other individuals identified by the City Manager or Chief. 2.2 Several small group sessions will be conducted that ultimately include all employees, excluding the chief and captains. The groups will be designed around work areas of employees of equal/similar rank. For example, line employees would be placed into focus groups depending on their shifts. Supervisors will have a separate group meeting. The facilitation technique used will be a slightly modified version of Nominal Group Technique. Every session will be asked the same question, "what is the #1 issue affecting San Rafael PD?" Each individual in each session will be asked to identify answers to this question by first writing them down for their own reference. Then using a structured round table format all the issues will be listed on easel paper forming a comprehensive list. There is no minimum or maximum number of issues. It is the facilitator's responsibility to drill down on each issue so that is unique and easily defined. Once all issues are listed there is clarifying discussion. All participates are then asked to vote on their top 3-5 issues with the votes being totaled for each issue. The voting is used to assist in setting a priority or level of concern. The lists and priorities for each session will be summarized for review and use by project team(s) established in Task 3. 2.3 Ride -along and sit -along with different employees to develop a better understanding of the SRPD. 2.4 Prepare a summary document that categorizes issues, priorities, and potential goals. Estimated Time: 24-32 hours depending on the number of small group sessions and employee scheduling. The goal is to conduct interviews, ride-alongs, and sit-alongs between group sessions to use time in the most efficient manner. Exhibit 1 Task 3 — Solution Generation, Goal Establishment, Goal Actualization 3.1 Establish a project team to address the issues identified in Task 2. The Team will utilize the lists generated in Task 2 to establish a Department priority with an understanding that some tasks may be simple to address while others may require changes beyond the authority of the Team. 3.2 Assist the Team with planning and actualization strategies to include: how is the goal demonstrated, measured, and reported? Develop a general planning process for each of the priority issues. For example: A. Issue 1 a. Expectation b. Current performance c. Gap identification d. Current capabilities e. Projected timeline B. Issue 2 f. Expectation g. Current performance h. Gap identification i. Current capabilities j. Projected timeline 3.3 Create a communications plan so Department employees are informed of the Team's work and progress.
