1. Summary

The Village of Mount Pleasant invites qualified firms to submit a proposal for consulting services to conduct

an Organizational Structure Assessment and Future Needs Analysis of the Mount Pleasant Police

Department. The objective of the study is to perform an independent review of current organizational structure

of the Mount Pleasant Police Department for the purpose of recommending necessary changes to staffing,

practices, and organizational structure due to continued economic growth and increase in demand for service.

The study shall provide specific recommendations on future staffing and organizational structure.

2. Background

The Village of Mount Pleasant comprises roughly 34 square miles in eastern Racine County, stretching from

Lake Michigan to Interstate 94, the location provides easy access to metropolitan Milwaukee and Chicago,

including Mitchell International Airport just minutes to the north. The Village of Mount Pleasant comprises a

unique blend of rural agriculture, residential, manufacturing, and commercial properties. Recently, the

Microsoft Corporation purchased about two square miles of land for future development in Village of Mount

Pleasant.

The Mount Pleasant Police Department was established in 1958, and currently services 28,184 residents

not including daily population swells. The Village of Mount Pleasant is experiencing economic growth. The

current and future growth rate is unprecedented and has affected calls for service, and the demands placed

on personnel. The Village of Mount Pleasant Police Department collaborated with the Racine Police

Department and received grant support from SC Johnson in 2015 to help construct and open the Lakeside

Community Oriented Policing (COP) House. Two Mount Pleasant Police Officers are assigned to the COP

House full-time. The COP House hosts community and educational programs.

The Village of Mount Pleasant Police Department’s current organizational structure consists of fifty-six full

time staff members including a Police Chief, 1.5 Administrative Assistants, two Captains, two Lieutenants,

seven Sergeants, five Detectives, thirty-nine Patrol Officers (including three K-9s, two COP Officers, one

SRO, one FBI Task Force Officer, and one Metro Drug Task Officer), one Lead Police Records Clerk, and

four Police Records Clerks.
