Implementation Plan and Oversight

The Mesa Police Department (MPD) strategic plan will be managed through a “Strategic Council”. The Strategic Council will ensure that we take a disciplined approach to holding ourselves accountable, communicating our progress, measuring our progress against critical metrics and addressing changes in a timely manner as conditions and priorities change.

This Council is comprised of the leadership of the Mesa Police organization as follows: the Chief; the Assistant Chiefs; the Deputy Director; the general council; the fiscal manager; the technical services manager, the strategic planner, and the project manager. The Strategic Council will provide governance and accountability. The Department’s project manager will facilitate Strategic Council meetings. These key leaders provide direct linkage to the Department at large, to city leadership, to the community and to those who we serve, ensuring communications, transparency, alignment, and commitment to the MPD strategic plan.

The Strategic Council will adopt, initiate, influence, and champion the MPD strategic plan. The strategic planner will work with the Council to ensure alignment with Mesa’s City Council Priorities and the City’s master plans. The Council will make strategic decisions on resource allocation, identify and resolve funding requirements and prioritize strategic initiatives. The Council will monitor progress toward achieving strategic priorities through key performance indicators and initiative metrics.

Reporting Requirements

Strategic initiative owners will be required to enter project plans and updates into the current approved project planning software. A report will be completed annually with details of accomplishments of the Strategic Plan.
