Budget Narrative

Getting started with the program will not require a lot people to be involved or money as most things needed are already provided by the department. Most of the money needed will be for personnel resources after the initial trial run boot camp. Other funding will be spent on materials for educational and maintenance purposes. There is an opportunity for growth with the health and wellness initiative from the state grant.

Personnel

Internal personnel that will be needed to start the program will include myself and one other instructor who will be the trainers for the exercise sessions. Their responsibilities will include developing, implementing, and managing all aspects of the training sessions for the officers. These responsibilities will change as the program grows and more trainers are needed to fulfill that growth. There will also be a person that will help with data collection and other clerical needs during each session. They will oversee check-in of the officers, financial maintenance of the program, as well as any clerical needs. Because we will be utilizing an onsite facility at the department headquarters, there will be a need for external personnel. This will be our officer liaison and will be tasked with communications and opening the facility for the program.

Educational Material

Basic ACSM exercise prescription guidelines will be presented at the beginning of the program in the form of a handout. This will be used as an example of basic exercise needs for the officers. This was chosen to because it is a good, basic guideline of exercise prescriptions for most populations. Other materials could be presented that will be the workout prescription and other descriptions of activities for the training sessions.

Space Allocations

The space allotted for the program intervention is an onsite facility that houses several types of exercise equipment for both cardio training and strength and resistance training. It also provides and obstacle course that will be utilized to break the monotony of normal strength and cardio training. It will be free for the organization to use with the officers.

Equipment and Supplies

The supplies cost is expected to be low at first. The only real supply needed will be the cost of exercise journals for the officers to record what they are doing, how long, and types of exercises during the workouts so they can track progress on their own. The department has offered to purchase these journals for the first 20 people into the program. The option of using a phone app or other electronic data entry are being considered. This will reduce costs if these options are used.

Funding

There is a potential for grant funding that might be available to the department from the state of Missouri from their health and wellness initiative for state employees (Missouri State Programs, 2018). This is yet to be determined and is dependent upon several factors that are being addressed such as employee size, city funding, and other state programs. Other sponsorship ideas are on the table from the community as well. There are several supportive organizations that have verbally offered to help supply what is needed to the program. This is still being finalized.

Income/Expenses/Growth

This budget plan is provided for the purpose of getting the program started. If the program is successful and growth happens, then there will need to be a plan for more funding for the future. This is where the state initiative grant will come into play. The biggest anticipated of cost will be personnel to run and maintain the program. My-self and one other person have agreed to volunteer our time to help get things started. More trainers will be needed to fill the time spots based on officer availability. Having more available training sessions will allow more officers with different schedules to participate in the program. Small costs of education materials and small equipment will be incurred as the program grows.
