A strategic plan is a forward-looking guide to help us enhance public safety, foster community partnerships, and support the growth of our community. At the core of this plan is our commitment to serving the community with our Vision, Mission, and Values driving every action we take. As our city continues to grow and evolve, so must our strategies and resources. This plan outlines our proactive approach to traffic safety and community engagement, and it adds to our capabilities to find ways to reduce crime. Traffic safety remains a top priority. As vehicle and pedestrian traffic increases, we will use data- driven enforcement strategies, infrastructure collaborations with the city and the Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT), and social media educational campaigns to reduce crashes and injuries. Our goal will be to make every roadway in our community safer for drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians alike. Equally vital is our connection with our community. Trust and collaboration are the foundation of effective community policing. Through open communication and transparency, we will continue to build on our relationships with residents, business owners, and local organizations to make our community a safe place to live, work, and visit. The plan articulates three overall objectives of our organization as a public safety leader and guardian of the public’s safety: Safety I Engagement I Effectiveness I am honored to be your chief of police.
