ABOUT US
M.C.S. Consulting and Implementation specializes in working with municipalities within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. With limited budgets and mounting priorities in municipal government, many municipalities do not have the adequate personnel, time, or resources to implement changes in their delivery of public safety. Not only will M.C.S. Consulting and Implementation provide customized and comprehensive Management Studies but will assist in the execution of the recommended service options, policy recommendations or staffing changes.
Many smaller municipalities cannot afford to provide a stand-alone, municipal police department - but wish to explore police service options. M.C.S. Consulting and Implementation will work with the municipality to help explore those options and bring the best police services to the community, keeping in mind the financial limitations of each community. Whether a municipality decides to contract police services from another municipality, regionalize police services, obtain services from the Pennsylvania State Police or a combination of solutions, M.C.S. Consulting and Implementation will assist in the coordination and implementation of those solutions.
Determining proper staffing levels, hiring and promotional processes are time consuming and, often, take staff away from their normally assigned duties to assist with the process. M.C.S Consulting and Implementation can assist in Entry Level and Promotional Oral Board processes and, provide customized Written Examinations for the promotional process based on your municipality’s Standard Operating Procedures, department protocols, Pennsylvania Vehicle Code / Crimes Code and additional Leadership texts and publications. The written examination is customized for each municipality to assist in finding the right candidate for the position.
M.C.S. Consulting and Implementation is committed to working with each municipality to find the right solution - Management, Personnel, or alternative Public Safety options - moving improved municipal police services from concept to reality.
