Developing a Plan of Action for the Future
The plan of action will guide a major shift not only in the Department's operation, but in the culture as well. It will set the standard to which we will be held accountable. The outcome of this effort will be a clearly articulated and widely disseminated plan that will set the strategic direction for the Department for the next five years. To achieve this outcome, we will:
Review the report of the independent auditor, assessments of the community, Department member and organizational needs, and results of other fact-finding activities.
Establish a strategic vision.
Draft a five-year, prioritized action plan that will be published and disseminated to all Department members and members of the community. This comprehensive plan will cover the following areas: integrity issues, resource allocation, the new service delivery model, organizational structure, fiscal responsibility, human resource development, systems infrastructure and administrative processes.
I am moving aggressively toward my goal of making the Metropolitan Police Department the finest police department in the nation. I pledged to create an efficient, well-managed police department -- one rooted in, and guided by, core values of honesty, integrity, respect for one another and for the community, fairness, dedication, commitment and accountability for individual actions and organizational results. These steps lay the foundation for that new beginning.
