The Virginia State Police, the biggest law enforcement agency in the commonwealth, is looking to hire a firm to devise a diversity, equity and inclusion plan.
The selected firm will help VSP leadership “evaluate, clarify, define, measure and implement DE&I strategies and goals to enhance diversity to optimal levels across all career groups, achieve inclusive excellence and to be a public safety leader in DE&I,” according to the RFP.
It will develop a strategic plan one year after the contract award date that reflects on the department’s current strengths, challenges and opportunities in relation to DE&I and provides a roadmap to attain goals that are accountable and sustainable.
VSP, which has 2,160 officers and 899 civilians, will award a one-year contract with four optional successive one-year renewals.
Proposals are due Dec. 15. Send the original, five paper copies and a CD or flash drive in an envelope marked “Proposal No. 156-21-024, Consulting Services for Strategic Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Plan” to:
Commonwealth of Virginia
