The Edmonton Police Commission sets a strong foundation of consensus for the organization through its vision and mission statements. Both of these statements guide the development of the strategic plan, goals and objectives, and set a clear direction for the organization.
Definitions:
VISION STATEMENT: is a vivid idealized description of a desired outcome that inspires, energizes and helps create a mental picture of your target. The vision statement communicates both the purpose and values of the organization.
MISSION STATEMENT: defines the organization’s purpose and primary objectives. Its prime function is internal communication of the organization’s measures of success and its prime audience is the leadership team and stakeholders.
Guidelines:
- The Edmonton Police Commission shall have vision and mission statements that describe the desired outcomes and objectives of the Commission.
- Both the vision and mission statements shall be reviewed at least every second year.
