The Pittsburg Police Department wanted its strategic plan to be reflective of the desires of the community it serves. To help deliver a community driven process the police department retained Matrix Consulting Group to assist with conducting community outreach and with coordinating the development of the strategic planning elements.

The process started with seeking input into the police department through an online survey which was facilitated by the police department. The survey was open for approximately one month as was offered in both English and Spanish. Links to the survey were available of the city website, the police department website and pushed out via social media. There were four focus area with the availability to add open ended responses. There was a total of 419 responses.

An internal Employee survey was also conducted covering key issues of the department. Additionally, there were six virtual community meetings sessions held. Four were in English and two were in Spanish. Each community listening session was facilitated by Matrix. The result of these listening sessions yielded six strategic goals which are detailed in the following sections.
This document includes internal police department goals that were developed to address issues identified through other processes. Some of these goals directly link to the community generated goals.

This document was designed to help shape the future of our department for the next 3-5 years.
