Once again, the Sheriff’s Department has embarked upon establishing our
priorities for the coming year. Rather than having our Department be relegated
to chance, and subject to circumstances beyond your control, the Strategic Plan
embodies a process whereby the Department solicits ideas from all reaches of
the department, vets each of them in the context of our current reality, prioritizes
them, and chooses the most important of them to drive our department forward
during the coming year. While certainly we will accomplish much throughout the
year that is outside the strategic plan, the 2013 plan represents our stated
priorities and objectives for the coming year, and will be displayed for employees
and the public alike to view them.
I am very proud of this year’s Strategic Plan; it is innovative and ambitious, and
will require the hard work of many of us to successfully complete. I encourage
each of you to take a look at it and if you see one that interests you, reach out to
the “primary contact” and see if you can get involved. I would also encourage
you to start considering proposals for next year’s plan. Certainly, each one of
you is best able to see how we can do business better, solve problems, improve
our internal culture, and deliver better customer service. The success or failure
of our Strategic Plan depends on each of you, and I deeply appreciate
everyone’s commitment to the process and the dedication you continue to show
every day.
Dear Sacramento County Residents,
