Deep River Police Service Strategic Plan: 2024 to 2027

The Deep River Police Service Board is excited to release our four-year Strategic Plan that focuses on advancing policing by prioritizing the following:

  • Community Relations
  • Crime Reduction & Community Safety
  • Organizational Excellence

These priorities were derived from the results of various public consultation methods conducted over the past year, including community surveys, facilitated focus groups with stakeholders and partners within the community, and internal questionnaires. These priorities become the strategic direction and objectives for the next four years, as required by the Community Safety and Policing Act, to align the enhancement of our police service with operational legislative requirements. This strategic Plan will guide the Deep River Police Service’s ongoing commitment to community safety and policing excellence on both a day-to-day and long-term basis, in response to ongoing societal changes and challenges.
