55,000 4 Authorize the City Manager to enter into an agreement with Murphy and Associates, Inc to conduct supervisory skills workshops for the Police Department in the amount of 510,346 Discussion It has been considerable time since a job analysis and needs assessment has been completed for the first line supervisor position of police sergeant Because of decentralization and advancements in technology there have been increasing demands on this position that make training a necessity if the supervisors are to keep pace with their environment Through discussions with supervisors and a review of operations it was learned that the standard catalogue type supervisory courses would no longer meet the needs of the Police Department Therefore, the Police Training Division staff designed a proposal which would divide the department's 106 sergeants into four groups Each of these groups would meet for a period of no more than three days Discussions would take place concerning barriers to job performance and agreement would be reached as to effective strategies which would overcome them Additionally, DATE REFERENCE SUBJECT POLICE DEPARTMENT SUPERVISORY PAGE NUMBER WORKSHOP AGREEMENT WITH MURPHY AND 5/30/89 C-11667 ,..~,,,.~,T~.. .,,,, 2_ of 3 agreement would be reached concerning specific skills necessary to carry out the duties of police sergeant At the conclusion of each workshop a spokesperson would be selected by the group and assigned to police training Thus, four individuals would be assigned to the staff to design an effective training program based upon the needs as identified by all participants as well as management Once the curriculum is developed it will be provided to all police sergeants Because of limited internal resources an outside facilitator was deemed necessary to the success of the program Several firms and individuals were contacted regarding their willingness to conduct the workshops as designed by the Training Division They either disagreed with the scope of the work to be performed or their prices were prohibitive During this time Richard Ayres, formerly of the Management Sciences Unit of the F B I National Academy in Quantico, Virginia, retired and went into private consultation work with Murphy and Associates, Inc in Fairfax, Virginia Mr Ayres is well known to the Police Department having developed and instructed senior staff in a three day Executive Development School in Fort Worth in 1987 This school received some of the highest ratings ever given a program of its type by departmental personnel Mr Ayres was contacted and advised the department that he had utilized the proposed training concept suggested by the Training Division on numerous occasions and that it was an acceptable approach to the development of an overall training program Mr Ayres submitted a proposal to conduct four workshops and a follow-up session for group leaders for a total fee of $10,346 which includes meals, lodging and transportation On May 4, 1989, the Fort Worth Police Department submitted a request to the Fort Worth Police Officers' Awards Foundation to fund these workshops The board at that time unanimously voted to approve funding in the amount of $5,000 if the city would provide the remaining 55,346 The Police Department's training registration cost per participant equates to approximately 550, an amount which is considered very reasonable when compared with other programs of this type The Chief of Police considers this series of workshops to be one of the highest priority training programs for this year and believes that Mr Ayres' participation is vital to the success of the program Financing *, s,k ~. ~+,- ~, ~ a Upon adoption of the supplemental appropriation ordinance, f~ :i „RATE NUMBER
