Citizens have high expectations of what fire, EMS, and police departments should provide. These expectations are often based on scenes from television, movies, or hearsay rather than industry standards or budget constraints. The McGrath Consulting Group's methodology helps define proper levels of response and services as well as the dollars needed to provide that service.

Public safety is not only necessary, it's a major cost center. McGrath helps cities, towns, villages, townships, counties, and states by identifying ways to improve public safety, facilities, labor, and equipment issues. Most challenges involve a complex mix of vision and mission, operating policies and procedures, higher expectations by the public, increasing regulatory mandates, and sometimes decreasing revenues.

McGrath's full repertoire of management assessment tools and training materials are used by a multi disciplinary team of consultants, each of whom possess decades of experience.
