The Champaign Police Department’s Strategic Plan is based on key principles from President Barack Obama’s Presidential Task Force on 21st Century Policing. It focuses on:

Building trust and legitimacy; technology and social media; officer wellness and safety; policy and oversight; training and education; and community policing and crime reduction.

The plan includes four areas and action steps to support our community policing efforts:

Community Safety and Connections
Work with the community to keep Champaign a safe place to live & work.

Trust & Trust Building
Strengthen trust within the department and with the public.

Employee Wellness, Training & Development
Promote a healthy work environment and provide leadership training for all department members.

Best Practices: Policy & Oversight
Develop staffing plans that support effective leadership and service.
