From the meeting
At its October 29, 2026 budget meeting, council requested that SPD conduct a staffing study of non-patrol functions and report to the Public Safety Committee. The study would cover SWAT, Canine, Harbor, Traffic, Training, Leadership and Administrative units, and investigative units, and would identify current staffing levels, gaps, and recommended staffing. The packet said the study would complement a separate patrol staffing study already underway.
Decision state: vote scheduled.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
When will City of Seattle issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks City of Seattle's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
How can vendors engage with City of Seattle before the RFP is published?
Vendors who reach out during the planning window can help shape requirements and build relationships with the decision-makers running the project. A free Civic IQ account sends you the pre-RFPs that fit what you sell, with the AI brief and the decision makers for the top matches in each digest.
Where can I find more public safety government opportunities in Washington?
Civic IQ monitors board meetings, agendas, budgets, and capital plans from 100,000+ state and local agencies and surfaces public safety pre-RFPs in Washington as soon as they appear — months before they reach bid portals.
