PACE

Partnership Alignment & Community Engagement (PACE) Assessment

A practical assessment & funding roadmap for police agencies

Public safety demands are rising while department resources keep shrinking.

Law enforcement agencies carry the weight of community safety with limited staff, constrained budgets, and growing operational pressure. As these challenges mount, many leaders struggle to secure adequate funding to support the level of service and community engagement their residents expect. 

At the same time, there are real sources of funding support beyond traditional public funding. Foundations, businesses, and community partners represent largely untapped resources that can bridge the gap. 

The PACE Assessment helps public safety agencies identify and access that support. We assess key internal functions such as private sector reporting, partnership governance, and funding structure to pinpoint where opportunities exist and what is required to pursue them.

Each assessment delivers clear, actionable recommendations and a practical roadmap to help your agency build healthy private-sector partnerships. These partnerships help agencies access supplemental funding, strengthen community trust, and support public safety needs that existing budgets cannot fully cover.
