sections, or pillars , from The President’s Task Force on 21st Century Policing Report , the Justice Department National Initiative for Building Community Trust and Justice , the 3-E-Action Plan , the PERF Report , initiatives derived from these documents, and community input, in a manner consistent with the FY17 City Manager Work Plan. Four Strategic Directions Inmultiple meetings and exercises, the Strategic Plan Advisory Committee identified the four FY17-FY21 Strategic Directions that form the basis for every future goal and action item, and helped FWPD to create and implement new stakeholder inclusive vision and mission statements.
Professionalism and Organizational Excellence Professionalism and Organizational Excellence refers to maintaining the standards of behavior that align FWPD’s actions and attitude with the department’s mission, vision, and core values. The purpose of specifying these standards of behavior is to give FWPD employees guidance in understanding their role in the department’s success. This strategic direction also allows the community an opportunity to review the department’s expectations of its employees. Building a professional police force is not only prudent, but essential to
providing the level and quality of service the citizens of Fort Worth expect. The commitment to and investment in training and professional development courses at all levels of the organization ensures that we provide citizens with the most well trained and technically proficient employees in the country. In turn, they are able to provide the high performance service to citizens. Professionalism and Organizational Excellence requires commitment at all levels of the organization to ensuring our police officer’s behavior aligns with the department mission, vision and core values and ensures every employee performs at the highest level. Community Engagement and Partnership Fostering trust with fellow members of this community is a vital step towards creating sustained crime reductions. Community engagement is working with stakeholders to collaborate and build trusting relationships, to reduce crime and improve the health of the
community. Every employee must understand and commit to work beyond the norms of traditional law enforcement. As a Police Department, we are only one part of the equation to reduce crime and sustain reductions over time. It is imperative that the Department engage its citizens, volunteers, businesses, religious institutions, and a host of others in this diverse community to develop strategies for the economic revitalization of crime ridden/unhealthy neighborhoods. Police can help to eradicate the criminal elements in neighborhoods,
