What is an Organizational Assessment?

An Organizational Assessment is a comprehensive, systematic review of your law enforcement officers, covering internal structures, culture, staffing, and performance systems. Whether evaluating a focused unit or the entire organization, our assessment team’s process reveals strengths and areas for improvement, equipping you to align operations with your mission and community members' needs.

The result? A realistic, data-informed roadmap to improve operational effectiveness and community-oriented policing services.

The assessment includes:

  • A full data analysis of agency operations, from workflows to staffing structures
  • Clear identification of strengths and opportunities for growth
  • An objective, third-party perspective to inform your decision-making

Trusted by Law Enforcement Leaders Nationwide

"The service provided to our department has been invaluable, and I would strongly endorse the process. A significant aspect of the assessment was that the assessors were external to our organization, providing honest and detailed recommendations. The assessors demonstrated exceptional knowledge and organization."

“The Brighton Police Department looks to leverage research-based practices to meet department and community needs in every facet of our work, and the NPI team supported that mission with our traffic stop analysis work. NPI helped us think outside of the box by not only analyzing demographic and traffic data but also including suspect data. Translating the research and findings into actionable recommendations for a path forward will help the BPD achieve continuous improvement. We would partner with NPI again in the future.”
