2016 Annual Report

FY17-FY21 Strategic Plan

Strategic Directions

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.

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.

Operational Improvements: Operational improvements advance the delivery of quality police services and enable the department to meet short and long-term goals. In order to address the emergent challenges that confront all law enforcement agencies, it is critical that FWPD make modifications to the operational structure to address inefficiencies. Technology Development and Infrastructure Expansion: An expanding reliance upon technology has transformed policing in many ways. New and emergent technologies have increasingly critical roles in the daily work of officers; and largely dictate the probability that a department meets the expectations of citizens. In order to support current and future operational needs, existing police facilities should also be flexible, adaptive, and supportive enough to facilitate change.
