Purpose:

This Contract (Contract) is entered into by and between the City of San Diego, a municipal corporation (City), and the successful proposer to Request for Proposal (RFP) # 10089342-18-K, Branding and Marketing Strategy Consulting Services for Police Recruitment for the San Diego Police Department (Contractor).

Scope of Work:

The City of the San Diego is the eighth largest City in the nation. The San Diego Police Department’s (SDPD) successful recruitment of talented Police recruits is a top priority for Mayor Kevin L. Faulconer. With four (4) academies a year, the recruitment of (up to) 50 highly qualified Police recruits per class insures that the welfare and safety of the community at large is constantly improving and that the department is a true representation of the community. Investment on the City’s part for a Police recruit to train and begin work as an independent officer has been estimated at $190,000. The SDPD prides itself in being a diverse organization with a police force that represents the communities it serves. It is an environment rich in opportunity for a long, successful career in enforcement for police recruits who successfully complete the academy.

With the average age of the Police recruit being 27 years old and at least 58% of these individuals have earned a college degree, new and effective ways to reach that demographic is key.

The discovery session is meant to provide all proposers information on the mission, goals and culture of the San Diego Police Department. Information provided at this discovery session should be used to help develop a marketing and branding strategy that best reflects the mission, goals and culture of the San Diego Police Department.
