Strategic Plan

The Victoria Police Department follows a 5-year planning cycle. The current Strategic Plan is for 2020-2025. A new plan will be developed in collaboration with our municipal partners, the City of Victoria, the Township of Esquimalt, and the community.

Community Engagement:
The Foundation of Strategic Plan 2020

The foundation of VicPD’s Strategic Plan 2020 is engagement, which can only be successful it involves meaningful reflection with and input from the community and our workforce.
As a result, we launched a comprehensive engagement effort to hear from a wide range of community groups to make sure we understood the issues that matter most to the people we serve.
We also listened to people from our own organization about the opportunities and challenges associated with providing policing services to Victoria and Esquimalt, and how to best implement our strategic objectives in a practical and sustainable way.
Finally, we consulted the latest research regarding performance metrics for policing in Canada to ensure we could effectively measure success against our goals on an ongoing basis.
