2005 - 2007 BUSINESS PLAN
The 2005-2007 Business Plan, developed in consultation with
our community and members of York Regional Police, set
forth our organizational direction and priorities. It contained
strategies that have ensured our neighbourhoods, roads and
schools remain safe for everyone. Our efforts were dedicated
to four key areas:
Community Focus
Operational Excellence
Preferred Place of Employment
Superior Quality Service.
The Business Plan contained 33 goals and 127 related
strategies, with the majority implemented in 2005 and 2006.
In 2007, many of the projects and initiatives that were started
in the previous two years were completed or became part of
ongoing operations.
Listening to Our Citizens
In May, 2007, a Community Needs
Survey was randomly distributed to
10,000 households in York Region.
It included questions about police
performance, policing priorities and
perceptions of crime.
The top policing priorities were
identified by respondents as:
Violent Crime
Guns and Gangs
Traffic Safety
