Sheriff's Message:

Introducing our Strategic Plan

Dear Citizens:

Today, we are moving forward with one of my long-held goals for the Sheriff’s Office as I introduce you to our new Strategic Plan.

The Strategic Plan is a roadmap that will guide us for the next three years -- helping us to become an even better organization. It has four broad goals:

1. Enhancing the Safety of Our Community
2. Increasing Resources for Future Growth and Stability of the Sheriff’s Office
3. Promoting a Proactive, Innovative and Efficient Organization
4. Growing and Enhancing Community and Stakeholder Partnerships

These four goals support 47 individual objectives across our five divisions -- the specific steps we will take to achieve these goals.

This plan is a living document. It will evolve and change while we are implementing it. We're already hard at work on some of these objectives, and some of them have already been completed. During the strategic-planning process, we also revisited our vision, mission statement and values. Capt. Kevin Poppen will head our Strategic Planning Steering Committee, which will ensure that this plan is implemented.

Many, many people have helped us to develop this Strategic Plan, and I owe all of them my sincere thanks. I appreciate the input, and the patience, that have made this day possible.

It's an honor to serve you.
