Strategic Plan - An Inclusive Environment

Goal Statement

Our employees are our greatest asset. We will empower them to drive change and participate in decision making.


In building an inclusive environment we want each employee to feel good about where they work, for whom they work, and whom they serve. We will seek not only to create a good working environment for our employees but an understanding in the community that sees their police department as an integral component of the government and not one that exists because it has been legislated upon it.

Change is best led when there is a "guiding coalition" of employees that recognize a sense of urgency.
