Staff Recommends: The Approval of the Attached Resolution
Explanation:
The Police Department seeks to increase the BPA amount for psychological services with Law Enforcement Psychological & Counseling Associates (LEPCA)to fulfill the recently approved Public Safety Psychologist position. Upon approval of the increase to the BPA, LEPCA will immediately fulfill the position of the dedicated mental health care provider to all public safety employees.
The Police Department currently provides psychological services such as pre-employment screenings and critical incident debriefings through a consulting services agreement with LEPCA. This BPA expands services provided under the existing agreement to include specialized public safety counseling, therapy, support, guidance, mental health services, wellness, and emotional support by the clinical psychologist available solely to public safety employees. Public Safety employees will have unrestricted, anonymous access with no supervisor approval required.
The increase from $258,000.00 to $433,000.00 adds the necessary contractual capacity for LEPCA to serve as the Public Safety Psychologist.
