Chesterfield County Police Department

Strategic Plan, FY 2009-2013                    

Chesterfield County Police Department develops a five year Departmental Strategic Plan to address law enforcement needs of the citizens of Chesterfield County. The Departmental Strategic Plan incorporates the goals and objectives within Chesterfield County’s Strategic Plan. The bureaus and divisions within the police department review the goals and objectives in the County’s Strategic Plan, and determine the direction the police department must take to meet these goals and objectives.

This document outlines the police department’s service efforts, accomplishments, and future challenges that influence the development of the strategic plan.  This plan will then be used to assist the county leadership in fulfilling the county’s vision and mission by following the guiding principles and values as set forth by the county leadership.

An implementation plan is included in this document that will enhance our ability to provide the highest quality service to the citizens of Chesterfield County. This plan includes staffing, equipment, information technology, facilities, programs and staff development, all of which impact on the department’s ability to achieve its goals and the goals set forth in the County’s Strategic Plan.  Please note that these are identified needs but not yet funded.

It is the goal of this department to increase authorized strength by 245 sworn officers over the next ten years.  These officers are needed to maintain the current level of services. With the addition of three new facilities over the next five years, there will be a reorganization of the department. This will result in an improvement in the quality and efficiency of service provided to citizens.

Given the growth and changing demographics of Chesterfield County, the Police Department must respond accordingly. Hence, change is inevitable. By making these changes, we continue to be a nationally recognized leader among law enforcement agencies in providing a safe and secure community in which to live.
