The Washington State highway patrol wants proposals to develop and help implement a diversity, equity and inclusion recruitment plan.
It has declared DE&I a top priority and seeks to align workforce diversity with its overall mission and goals, according to the RFP.
The Washington State Patrol has 1,069 commissioned officers, of which 90.9 percent are men. The force is 86.5 percent white, 4.4 percent Hispanic, 2.4 percent Black, 2.1 percent Asian-American and 1.2 percent American Indian/Alaskan.
The desired firm will provide WSP with the “relevant tools, best practices, recommended training, and design strategies that support and engage community members and align organizational culture.”
Proposals are due Dec. 10.
