TOMCAT™
"Expose the unseen - Reform what matters."
TOMCAT™ (Total Organizational Maturity and Cultural Assessment Tool) is a proprietary, research-based diagnostic framework designed to assess the organizational maturity and culture of public safety agencies.
Developed by Dr. Mark Brown, a recognized expert in law enforcement evaluation, TOMCAT empowers agencies to identify internal vulnerabilities, strengthen departmental culture, and promote high-functioning, constitutionally sound policing.
Unlike conventional audits or compliance reviews, TOMCAT offers a comprehensive, multidimensional view of how agencies function—internally and externally. Its purpose is clear: to isolate and correct subcultural deviance, elevate leadership practices, and align daily operations with mission, ethics, and law.
Core Structure
TOMCAT evaluates organizational maturity and agency culture through the intersection of three domains and four dimensions:
Why TOMCAT?
TOMCAT allows city leadership, law enforcement executives, and oversight bodies to:
• Uncover deeply rooted cultural or operational dysfunction
• Benchmark progress over time using quantifiable maturity scores
• Enhance transparency and public trust
• Support leadership succession planning and strategic reform
• Integrate feedback from focus groups, surveys, interviews, and policy reviews
Deployment & Impact
TOMCAT has been deployed in agencies facing rapid growth, organizational change, and federal scrutiny. It is especially effective for cities committed to reform without federal intervention or litigation. Through a structured 3-phase process—Assessment, Analysis, and Action Planning—TOMCAT provides clear, objective guidance for sustainable institutional improvement.
Policy Reviews
Based in law enforcement and policing experience at all levels - our personnel possess a broad familiarity with state and federal laws, constitutional policing, and best practices. Further, our approach is backed by academic credentials and familiarity with data-driven policy decisions.
Human Resources Consulting
Policing has seen a drastic decline in quality candidates and increases in retirement. These factors have proven critical to public safety concerns. Our approach to hiring, retention, and promotions is based in compliance with agency mission, development of scientific assessment centers , all aligned with specific agency goals and needs.
Internal Investigations
Research has shown that public confidence in the police is elevated through the external investigation of allegations related to internal concerns. At times, due to the sensitivity of an allegation, or a lack of sufficient agency resources - an external partner is necessary. Due to extensive law enforcement experience, and academic approaches based in scientific analysis, our personnel approach investigations with neutrality, objectivity, and specific focus on constitutional compliance.
Operations Consulting
Effective policing requires appropriate evaluation of multiple domains. Operational effectiveness is crucial to long-term reduction of crime, community safety, longevity of agency personnel and maintaining credibility. Our approaches assist agency executives in evaluation of resource allocation, acquisition of new equipment, and modification of operational procedures.
Full-Scale Assessments
Unfortunately, a variety of events may occur that diminishes public confidence in the police. The lack of trust may eventually increase to a level where the police become ineffective and public confidence must be restored. Our personnel specialize in restoring police agencies that have been disrupted, through partnerships with city leaders, administrators, community members, and agency executives.
