I hope you have taken the opportunity to review the draft strategic plan framework for the Oakland Police Department. This framework outlines the future direction and strategies for the Department and Community. The mission, vision, and strategic goals outlined are challenging. I believe OPD, with the Community's help, is up to this challenge. You can assist in meeting this challenge by providing input. Please take a few minutes and provide your thoughts on how OPD can move toward the outlined vision and goals. The information you provide will be used to develop more detailed actions for the strategic plan.
