The Center for Local Government Studies provides consulting and research on public safety and management for local governments and the public sector. We are recognized leaders in the areas of fire department operations, emergency medical services, hazardous materials response, and emergency management and contingency planning. We specialize in analyzing data to facilitate strategic planning decisions.
TriData offers comprehensive services in the analysis of public safety services, including detailed reviews, long-term strategic analyses, and system analyses. Our staff has a wealth of practical and analytical experience in public safety, which enables us to deal with all types of strategic problems in emergency services. This flexibility is necessary to deal with the complexities that are found in every local government. Implementation of TriData recommendations has resulted in reduced response times, improved ISO ratings, optimized allocation of manpower and leadership resources, and adoption of NFPA standards, cost savings and improvements in effectiveness.
This center has undertaken comprehensive public safety studies for municipalities ranging from 8,000 to 3 million in population. We have performed more than 130 studies of local fire departments, of which over 35 were large metropolitan fire departments (e.g. Chicago, Seattle, Houston, and Jacksonville).
