Why bother?
Old arguments – we’ll always be around
New realities – competition for resources
Planning is more than just filling in a form – it is leadership and direction
You do it or have it done for you
Democratic values: Authority is from outside the service Multiple stakeholders

Building an annual Strategic Plan
How can that be? Annual and strategic?
Setting medium range goals key to winning budget support.
Being merely reactive will not win the day.
Process of building a plan is also the process of getting sing-on and support
It is also the process of learning and adaptation for the Service

What to look for in a strategic budget linkage
Strategic Plan
Does this organization know its Mission?
Does this organization have an end state or
vision?What are the ground rules or basic operating assumptions and principles?
Does it have a grip on reality – what is its situation analysis including risks.
Does it have goals and objectives that make sense?
Are there targets with measures that we can
understand.
Does what it is going to do this year mesh with its goals and
mission?
What’s it going to cost?
Is it sustainable?

Making it all real: Assessing your environment
Purpose: to establish a realistic and credible understanding of the risks, opportunities and challenges for the police service
To gather enough information so that the Board or senior management making decisions about your service or unit can make informed and balanced decisions
To understand the world around you not just as you see it but as other do and factor that perception into your final work plans

Tactical Planning
High level goals need to be translated into reality
These become the next year targets and sources of money needs (not all the time)
This also becomes the basis for budget requests and assignment of internal funds
