    December 2016 PROMISING Increasing Diversity Among PRACTICES FOR First Responders Prepared for U.S. Department of Labor, Chief Evaluation Office PREPARED BY AUTHORS SITE PROFILE Abby Miller, Sue Clery, Samantha Richardson, and Amelia Topper, Coffey Dallas Police Consulting, LLC Bethesda, Maryland Department Stephanie Cronen, Samantha Lilly, Emma Hinkens, and Michelle Yin, American Institutes for Research (AIR) This project has been funded, either wholly or in part, with federal funds from the U.S. Department of Labor under Coffey Consulting, LLC’s MOBIS Contract GS-10F-0176P, DOL BPA DOLQ129633242, Task Order DOL OPS-15-U-00189. The contents of this publication do not necessarily reflect the views or policies of the U.S. Department of Labor, nor does mention of trade names, commercial products, or organizations imply endorsement of same by the U.S. Government. Site Visit Findings First responder fields serve a crucial role in the safety and well-being of communities around the country. Public citizens and officials have placed a renewed focus on improving both the representativeness of first responders in relation to the populations they serve, and the agencies’ relations with their local communities. The assumption underlying this focus is that a more representative first responder workforce will lead to better community relations and fairer treatment of the public served. Promising Practices for Increasing Diversity Among First Responders, conducted by Coffey Consulting, LLC on behalf of the U.S. Department of Labor Chief Evaluation Office in 2016, was an exploratory study that involved five in-depth site visits and a literature review to identify promising practices that first responder agencies and organizations can leverage to increase the diversity of their workforces.
