Police Psychological Evaluations Services

The City of Spokane’s Police Department solicited an Informal Request for Proposals (IRFP) to obtain professional psychological evaluation services for pre‑employment screening, fitness‑for‑duty assessments, and critical‑incident support. Lou Sowers PC was awarded the contract to deliver licenced psychologist services, including testing, interviews, reporting, and 24/7 on‑call assistance, over an initial three‑year term with one possible two‑year renewal. The scope emphasizes compliance with IACP guidelines, ADA considerations, and legally defensible instruments. • Required services: pre‑employment testing, post‑incident debriefings, return‑to‑duty evaluations, and ongoing counseling. • Vendor qualifications: licensed psychologist, ≥5 years experience with public‑safety candidate assessments, ability to provide round‑the‑clock support. • Contract terms: 3‑year base period, optional 2‑year extension, work‑made‑for‑hire deliverables, and standard City of Spokane insurance and compliance requirements.
