At the beginning of the CARES program, participants made the decision to study a series of key topics during the process:
- Training
- Equipment
- Staffing
- Facilities
- Operations
- Finances
The community engagement process involved six 2-hour CARES meetings, and one open house at each firehouse. More than 50 individuals attended the community wide meetings, nearly 1,000 attended one of the open houses.
Additionally, the Facilitating Team (five community members, selected CFPD staff and special advisors) met three times before the first community meeting and once between each community meeting. The information learned and discussed as part of the meetings is included in the final report. The community engagement process resulted in recommendations, which are presented in response to the charge given to CARES participants by the Board of Directors.
