Vendor/Contractor Name (including any “DBA”):

State of Colorado, Department of Public Safety, Division of Criminal Justice

Type and Scope of services to be performed:

The Denver Police Department in partnership with the National Law Enforcement Foundation will contract with a Childcare Concierge Provider to help find 24/7 childcare providers for our officers. The Denver Police Department intends to create this program to allow officers to choose the childcare facility that best fits their needs. The Childcare Concierge Provider will ensure each childcare provider is vetted and meets the licensing requirements set forth by the State of Colorado.

 

By choosing this new program path, the Denver Police Department intends to have a larger impact department wide. Creating a Childcare Concierge Program addresses one of the barriers many families face when working in law enforcement, childcare access. This new project plan will also contract with a childcare camp provider to help fill in gaps for school breaks that impact childcare access for many law enforcement families. The Camps will be held during Spring Break, Summer Break, and Winter Break. This new project will ensure we are meeting the needs of the Department and measuring if childcare access has an impact on recruiting and retentionLocation (if applicable):
