2013 DPS Goals and Measures.pdf

The Department of Public Safety (DPS) under the direction of Troy Riggs is pleased to present the following information regarding 2013 DPS Goals and Objectives. DPS is comprised of the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department (IMPD), Indianapolis Fire Department (IFD), Indianapolis EMS (IEMS), Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Animal Care and Control (ACC), and Public Safety Communications (PSC). Additionally included are goal reviews from the Citizen’s Police Complaint Office (CPCO) and the City of Indianapolis, Mayor’s Office of Re-Entry.

DPS Division Chiefs and Directors were asked to provide information for the following categories: Mission Statement, Structure, Funding, Staffing, Goals and Measures and Special Projects. Each sectional review helps to establish real and measurable goals, allow for incorporation of goals and objectives into the business plan DPS is developing and hold each Chief/Executive Director accountable for implementation of those goals.

Director of Public Safety Troy Riggs states that “The importance of this initiative cannot be underestimated. Internal reviews and subsequent written objectives are important, as we continue to assess strengths, address concerns and search for improvements. This is the first step in the development of business plans for 2014.” An efficiency team is currently working on a business plan template and additional business practices for the Department of Public Safety. Director Riggs encourages an active role from citizens by utilizing the following DPS e-mail to offer input or to share concerns: DPS@indy.gov
