Item A: Eugene Police Department Strategic Plan

Home Browse Search

Strategic initiatives take staff time, energy, and resources to develop and implement. For this reason, initiatives have been tentatively prioritized into short-term (1-2 year), mid-term (2-3 year), and long-term (3-5 year) priorities. A number of strategic initiatives proposed in the plan arise from the recommendations contained in the ICMA-PERF review of the selection-training-supervision systems of the department in late 2004 and reported in March 2005. Most of these are addressed in various objectives of short-term initiatives. Each of the short-term initiatives was assigned a staff lead and a project team to fully develop, including objectives, determination of resource requirements, milestone timelines, and evaluation criteria. Mid-term and long-term initiatives will be similarly assigned and developed following adoption of the strategic plan based on priority and resource availability. Evaluation To ensure continuing progress in implementing the strategic plan, EPD will issue a quarterly progress report. One of the quarterly reports will combine the previous four quarters into an annual report. The timing of these reports will be such that future annual reports can be used to initiate the budget process for the coming fiscal year. The Budget Committee passed and Mayor and Council adopted funding for a professional management consultant to oversee early implementation and evaluation of those initiatives associated with the ICMA-PERF report. To ensure consistency and coordination, a proposal will be made to expand this role to include evaluation of the overall plan implementation, including those components.
