As I have learned in the first module, the vision represents the future that the organization and wants to create, it also describes the ideal perception and should be easy to understand. The mission is what puts the vision to practice and focuses on what the organization does. The values focus on how the organization will react to its vision and mission. In the following paragraphs, I will demonstrate the comparison of the City of Edmonton’s mission, vision, and values with the Edmonton Police Service’s mission, vision, and values. The City of Edmonton has made specific plans for their mission, vision and values these plans guides the decisions, and helps them set a direction to align the priorities to make the city they want to become in 2040. …show more content…
Edmonton Police Service’s mission is to increase public safety through excellence in the prevention, intervention and suppression of crime and disorder. Their vision is to make Edmonton the safest major city in Canada and for the Edmonton Police Service to be recognized as a leader in policing. The core values of the agency are integrity, accountability, respect, courage, and community (2014, Edmonton Police Service).In my opinion, the police service has a great plan set out for their goals; However, they do not have a plan to change their missions, visions, values once they are achieved. I think that the police service should followed the design of the City of Edmonton’s plan, because missions, visions, and values, should be a goal for the organization to achieve and then move on to the next. Given that, I think the key values of the police service such as integrity, accountability, respect, courage, and community should be permanent throughout the City of Edmonton’s
Both, vision and mission statements provide purpose to organizations. Therefore, they should set the foundation for the strategic planning process. However, if and organizations strategic direction evolves, leaders should consider revising the organization’s mission and vision
The commitment to progress, exist in the changing environment. They seek opportunities for changes leading to improved police services.
Policing is a very difficult, complex and dynamic field of endeavor that is always evolves as hard lessons teach us what we need to know about what works and what don’t work. There are three different Era’s in America’s policing: The Political Era, The Reform Era, and The Community Problem Solving Era. A lot has changed in the way that policing works over the years in the United States.
The Core Function of Police in Reference to Wilson and Keeling's Broken Windows Thesis In considering whether the core function of the Police should be to maintain order, there are a number of issues, both historic and current, which need to be taken into consideration. For example, the maintenance of what constitutes “order” can be interpreted differently by different communities i.e. urban and rural. The expectations of police performance and in how they deploy their resources to meet conflicting demands need to satisfy both nationally set targets and meet locally driven priorities.
As discussed in class some of the major trends are the baby boomers becoming older, gang sophistication and the growing diverse population. These are all issues that were stated in the framework which proves that these are identifiable issues in Alberta. Officers in a culture can contribute to these trends of the future when they have a common goal of serving the community. This can be seen in a very recent issue regarding the Attawapiskat suicides. Extra officers have been called to the area to help with the community and provide assistance to the youth. This is something that can be seen as a police culture view. The officers that are heading there to aid the community and the officers that are already stationed on the reserve have the common goal of helping the youth and allowing the community to recover. A police subculture that can impact the future of police trends are individuals that believe that there the community policing model is not the most efficient and effective way. An article put out by blueline.ca called Keeping Community in Community Policing, provides a detailed look at the officers that believe in community policing and the officers that have other views. It talks about how the agencies can count the arrests, the tickets, and the crimes, but the one thing they can’t count is the amount of prevention (Gilchrist, 2013). There are

The current mission, vision, and value statements are written very broadly to provide the five divisions within the company with an overall direction and strategy. Each division then interprets the strategy and goals to develop operational processes, procedures, tactics and plans to implement and achieve those goals.
The police are usually charged with the great responsibility of ensuring that citizens are living quality lives that are free of crime and fear. In order to perform this duty effectively, the police need accurate and deeper knowledge of the citizens and issues they encounter in their daily lives. This knowledge will not be easy to come by if the police work independently from the citizens. Over the last several decades, police agencies have been working to gain the respect and the cooperation of the communities they serve. Community Oriented Policing was introduced to bring a closer working relationship between the citizens and the police.
Community oriented policing has been around for over 30 years, and promotes and supports organizational strategies to address the causes, and reduce the fear of crime and social disorder through problem solving tactics. The way community policing works is it requires the police and citizens to work together to increase safety for the public. Each community policing program is different depending on the needs of the community. There have been five consistent key elements of an effective community oriented policing program: Adopting community service as the overarching philosophy of the organization, making an institutional commitment to community policing that is internalized throughout the command structure, emphasizing geographically decentralized models of policing that stress services tailored to the needs of individual communities rather than a one-size-fits-all approach for the entire jurisdiction, empowering citizens to act in partnership with the police on issues of crime and more broadly defined social problems, for example, quality-of-life issues, and using problem-oriented or problem-solving approaches involving police personnel working with community members. Community oriented policing has improved the public’s perception of the police in a huge way. Community policing builds more relationships with the
If I were appointed as the new Chief of Police in my hometown, the mission statement would revolve around professionalism, humanitarianism, and community, which are the most important values to me. Professionalism encompasses the entire gamut of any agency, not just law enforcement. Professionalism within law enforcement can be seen as an officer who is skilled in their job classification. The officers would be firm, fair, and consistent with every call for service, regardless of their personal morals nor opinions. They would treat everyone the same within the same situations. Humanitarianism would be emphasized with the officer’s knowledge of different programs available for troubled people. Drug and alcohol addicts could be advised of treatment
First of all I would like to express what I have learned throughout each week of the course. During the first week, I’ve got the chance to take a close look about the “mission, vision and values”. At first I thought mission
From this Community Police Consortium, the BJA put together a report titled Understanding Community Policing, A Framework for Action, which focused on developing a conceptual framework for community policing and assisting agencies in implementing community policing. The basis for this consortium was much more direct than the previous efforts set forth by Presidential Commissions during the 1960’s and 1970’s, and led to what became known as the Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS, Title 1 of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994). The core components outlined in the BJA report listed the two complementary core components to community policing: community partnership and problem solving. The report further stated that effective community policing depends on positive contact between patrol officers and community members, establishing and maintaining mutual trust as the primary goal of a community partnership, and police and community must join together to encourage and preserve peace and prosperity. While these are just a few of the recommendations listed in the report, there were many more that set forth the framework for community policing, but these were the core components.
Public safety covers a wide variety of people and organizations, but carries one common theme and that is, the public’s safety. This course has broadened my knowledge on the many roles that make the public safety sector go around and the role the public plays in it as well. My thoughts before the course were close minded and to the point. I quickly realized that policing is not as cut and dry as I once portrayed it to be. Society is always changing and adapting, and it is the job of the those in public safety to adapt and change with it. The mindset that I grew up with, in rural Saskatchewan, was the police are good people and you will only need to deal with them if you break the law or see someone break the law. My answers in the module 1 survey reflected my upbringing. My first thought for

Whit the rise of globalization and technology companies are looking for every advantage to gain a strategic advantage. Having a vision, mission and values statement are one way companies have attained these advantages. A vision is a long term aspiration of where the company wants to go. A mission is a long term goal, which is directed toward the stakeholders, and shows what the company wants to accomplish. Values are the principals on which the company operates. Having Vision, Mission and Value statements in place not only gives employees direction but it lets everyone else know what your company is about. Leaders within organizations who have these statements need to ensure full support so the company can continue to maintain a competitive
