Law Enforcement Services Contract Status
On November 1, 2011 the Yorba Linda City Council directed staff to create a formal Request for Proposal (RFP) for Police Services for distribution to local agencies including our current provider, the Brea Police Department. At the same time, the City Council also
authorized serving written notice of termination to the Brea Police Department indicating that the current agreement will terminate 18 months from receipt of the notice, May 3, 2013. The City Council took these actions in order to receive competitive bids from other law enforcement service providers within the surrounding area and to insure that Yorba Linda residents will continue to receive a high level of law enforcement service at the most competitive price. The Brea Police Department will continue to provide law enforcement service to
the City of Yorba Linda until at least the termination date of May 3, 2013, and, if they are selected as the provider through this RFP process, their service will continue beyond that date. If another agency is selected, a transition plan will be developed and there will be no lapse in police service to our City.
During this RFP process, the City Council directed that all relevant reports and documents in regards to the current law enforcement services contract status be provided on the website so that the public has access to the material. As applicable and for ease of understanding, the below documentation is listed in chronological order.
