The Chicago Police Department’s “Strategy for Organizational Excellence” is a three-year plan designed to enhance public safety, build community trust, and foster the professional growth of the department. The strategy is built on four key foundations: Building, Developing, and Supporting Our Workforce; Community Trust; Neighborhood Safety; and Organizational Infrastructure. The foundations are designed not just to address immediate challenges, but to pave the way for long-term, sustainable engagement and growth. Each foundation reflects a critical area of focus, from investing in department members to strengthening relationships with the community, addressing safety concerns, and reinforcing the department’s organizational structure.
