San Marcos residents can provide feedback on the city’s ongoing Police Staffing Study at meetings Oct. 23 and Oct. 25.

In a nutshell

Officials said the study is to assess the current staffing levels and service delivery of the San Marcos Police Department to determine whether they align with community needs and expectations for public safety services.

The city approved the $116,000 study by Matrix Consulting Group in May.

Why it matters

Key objectives identified by the city include evaluating:

• Staffing levels
• Workload distribution
• Opportunities to better align police resources with community priorities

"This is your opportunity to share what you expect, need and value from local law enforcement," officials said in a statement.
