Short Term Goals

One of the short-term goals is to make sure employees, especially deputies, get paid a competitive pay. The way this can be accomplished is by a simple budget audit, by doing this most significant audit we can find excess expedition that are necessaries that can be used to take care of our front-line employees. If they are not able to find the budget cuts, plan B should be to have the correctional department to apply for bonds to fund this short-term goal. What this short-term goal is going to do is keep the current employees who would reduce the turnover.

All this translates to is more experience officer in the jail, which make for a better and safer correctional facility. The second short term goal that needs to get fix is all about training upper management. The reason this short-term goal is so important is that training is crucial for any position in the hierarchy, all the way from the top to the bottom they have been too many complaints about commanding officers having issues with taking the lead or being in charge. The focus of the short-term goal is to train the commander officers in both communications and leadership skills. With this kind of training, we ensure that all our departments in our facilities are both running efficiently and effectively.

Long Term Goals

The Scottsdale Police Department recognizes the changing needs of the community and law enforcements role in addressing those needs. Scottsdale is a thriving community that is consistently rated among the nation’s best places to live. The police department is committed to being proactive in serving the community as they strive to enhance the safety and quality of life in Scottsdale. The Strategic Plan Initiatives includes a mission and vision for the future as well as long term goals and operational objectives that can be regularly reviewed and updated to reflect current community issues. The new initiatives are used as a roadmap to guide the police department and law enforcement in the city for the next three years. The direction and objectives have been made clear and being able to keep up with the changes in modern technologies will be vital to the success of the department. Connecting to the community through social media and increasing public relations are very important in improving the effectiveness of the officers that work in the community. The goal is to improve the recruitment and hiring practices, update technologies, promote emergency preparedness and re-evaluate law enforcements response to crime trends. The city is projecting 27 percent growth in the population through the year 2050, which will produce more calls to the police department and an increase in crime. Tourism is a main source of the city of Scottsdale’s economy, and national and local crimes such as the opioid epidemic, human trafficking, and network /data security will be challenged over the next three years and beyond. Building trust, developing good policies that support community involvement and reduction of crime. Developing better training practicing and supporting employee wellness, as criminal sophistication will continue to increase.

The objectives for the Strategic Plan

The objectives for the Scottsdale strategic plan are:

· Implementation by means of a business planning approach.

· To remodel strategies and objectives into quantifiable measures and achievements for each agency operating area.

· To employ the plan as a road map in achieving the mission, vision, values and goals.

· Concentrate on developing a joint philosophy by engaging state-of-the-art methods to guarantee the protection and wellbeing of the staff, inmates, and the communities.

· The plan will be reviewed and restructured based on the varying business conditions and changing statewide policies and ordinances.

Method for Data Collection and Analysis

A successful strategic planning integrates collectively quantitative and qualitative data collection in a supportive manner. The quantitative method supports in describing the “what” in strategic planning, while the qualitative method replies the “why” of the trend.

Tashakkori and Teddlie (2003) propose three time-based cycles for combining quantitative and qualitative data: (a) simultaneously, where two categories of information are gathered and comparably analyzed, (b) consecutively, where one category of information affords a starting point for gathering another category of information; and (c) adaptation, where the information is "qualified" or "quantified" and reevaluated. In conjunction, these serve as main and derivative techniques in its application to particular sections of strategic planning.End Match 

Presenting these results in a SWOT format can be summarized in the form of statements, phrases or brief statements and priority. This analysis determines the critical strategic factors which, once identified, can be used as leverage to support changes, merging internal strengths, minimizing the weaknesses of the system, and taking advantage of the disadvantages, and eliminating or reducing threats that can decrease the effectiveness of improvement initiatives.
