BACKGROUND: On September 11, 2019, the City Council unanimously voted to pursue the addition of private security patrols to the areas of the City most impacted by increases in crime. The pilot project resulted in a positive impact upon the areas in which the Prevention Patrol Strategy was deployed.
Prevention Patrol is another means by which the Bakersfield Police Department (BPD) will achieve its mission, "to partner with our community to protect the lives and property of the people we serve.”
After a successful pilot program with Trans -West Security Services, Inc. the BPD solicited a Request for Proposals (RFP) on May 26, 2024, to continue privat e security patrols. Upon review of the submittals, designated Bakersfield Police Department staff determined that the proposal submitted by Trans -West was the most comprehensive, cost-beneficial, and overall best suited to meet the community's needs.
On August 17, 2022, the City entered into Agreement No. 2022-160 in the amount of $493,904.40 and a term date of June 30, 2023, for patrol services.
On June 28, 2023, the City entered into Amendment No. 1 to Agreement No. 2022 -160 and increased compensation by $500,000 for a new not to exceed amount of $993,904.40 and extended the term date to June 30, 2024.
