The City of Spokane Police Department issued an Informal Request for Proposals (IRFP 5627‑22) to secure on‑call Police Trauma Intervention Specialist services. The award was made to a qualified individual practitioner, Robert E. Stoffregen, MA, PS, to provide 24/7 crisis response, critical‑incident stress debriefings, follow‑up counseling, and wellness training for department personnel. The base contract term is one year, with the possibility of up to four one‑year renewals, making the total potential duration five years. All proposals were required to be submitted electronically via the city’s ProcureWare portal by mid‑April 2022, and the contract was formally awarded in late June 2022.
• Services include on‑scene assistance after traumatic events, preliminary assessments, individual/group debriefings, emergency on‑call support, and ongoing wellness training.
• Minimum qualifications demand a Washington business license and a master’s or doctoral degree in counseling or clinical psychology.
• The solicitation does not disclose a budget; vendors submitted a cost proposal that the city evaluated alongside technical and management criteria.
