STRATEGIC PLAN PURPOSE
The purpose of this plan is to publicly express our priorities for the next five years. Building on our last plan, this document lays out 13 key strategic priorities for our organization. The strategic plan also serves as a set of guidelines for staff when considering how best to deliver services. The plan will ensure that our decisions align with our strategic direction. Policing and the environment we operate in are constantly changing. We are often presented with new and complex challenges related to emerging issues, crime trends and calls for service. In consideration of this, there will be times when we have to shift our priorities to meet new demands. Each year we will create work plans to ensure we are evaluating and responding to emerging issues, and making any required course corrections. As we go through these planning processes, we will also assess whether opportunity exists to integrate any of our services with our regional partners. Our progress will then be reported to the public on a quarterly and annual basis both to increase public awareness and to support confidence in the services we provide as we keep Saanich safe.
