What Our Clients Say

---

It was a great partnership we had with KRW in our search for a new police chief for Lamar, Colorado.  From the initial proposal to the acceptance of the chosen candidate, we have felt like we were getting the best service that we could have possibly hoped for.  Our new police chief is poised to be one of our busiest and most important employees.  Any city looking for quality employees at the highest level will be greatly served by considering KRW for those needs.

"In the summer of 2020, I started my application process to become the Chief of Police for the City of Black Hawk, CO, where KRW Associates conducted the executive search. During my process with KRW, I was treated with respect and professionalism every step of the way. They answered my questions promptly, and I always felt I could contact them without hesitation. Thank you for leading an exemplary search process."

"We recently utilized KRW Associates LLC for a nationwide search to fill our new Town Manager role in Akron, CO. The experience was incredibly positive from start to finish. KRW provided invaluable advice on the position and salary, and expertly facilitated multiple rounds of interviews. Their professionalism and dedication resulted in a successful hiring process with an excellent outcome and the right cultural fit for our community."

“I was impressed with KRW’s enthusiasm, communication skills and professional demeanor when I hired them to conduct a police department comprehensive review and action plan. During this process, KRW was extremely thorough and delivered a quality evaluation with recommendations. Due to the quality of the comprehensive review, the City of Amarillo also retained KRW to assist us with the identification of an Interim Police Chief and to conduct the search for the permanent Police Chief. KRW work on all projects was superior. They were highly professional and attentive to details. The process recommended by KRW allowed us to engage our employees, citizens and Council members through focus groups in order to fully understand our community’s needs. KRW Associates has my highest recommendation.”

“KRW completed a staffing and deployment assessment for the Boulder Police Department so that we could determine the proper deployment of personnel and technologies to serve the needs of the City of Boulder.  The report that KRW produced contained detailed analysis of our calls for service as well as responses to the interviews that were conducted with each work group in our department.  This evaluation confirmed areas in which we excel but also highlighted processes within the department that we are reviewing to ensure their effectiveness.  Our department members were impressed by the expertise of the KRW team; it was a pleasure to work with them.”

“KRW was tasked with completing an organizational assessment of the Pueblo Police Department after a Chief’s selection process highlighted some conspicuous concerns within the department.  The assessment was conducted in a professional manner with compassion for all involved.  The results were presented to the City Manager and his staff for input prior to the public presentation before City Council.  The KRW document, along with their recommendations, became the framework for change inside our department.  The study facilitated a new leadership paradigm to take hold and it has moved the organization in a positive direction.”
