The Davis Police Department is in the initial stages of creating a new strategic plan for upcoming years 2012 through 2014. The current 3-year strategic plan ends December 31,2011, and the Police Department wants your help in creating the new plan.

The strategic plan is created after receiving input from community members, including UC Davis students, police employees, and other community stakeholders and is used to help the Department continuously focus its policing efforts.

The meeting will be held tonight, Wednesday 10/26, in Wellman 126. All members of the Davis community are encouraged to come learn more about this issue and voice their opinions. First years are highly encouraged to attend, as this change will have the greatest impact on them.

The 2009-2011 Strategic Plan can be accessed online at http://cityofdavis.org/police/pdfs/Strategic%20Plan%202009-2011.pdf
