Dunn County Criminal Justice Collaboration Council: Strategic Planning

Abstract

The Dunn County Criminal Justice Collaboration Council (DCCJCC) stressed the need for a strategic planning process in which all stakeholders were involved. The council needed external assistance in determining the best, most appropriate strategic priorities as well as a facilitator for the strategic planning process. The purpose of the study was to facilitate a strategic planning process that engaged the DCCJCC and its full membership of stakeholders to plan the next steps in its future through completion of surveys, a SWOT analysis, brainstorming sessions, two half- day workshops, a goal activity and in-person meetings and presentations. The project would include the identification of targets and objectives based on the defined assumptions, and include a mixed method of research (quantitative and qualitative data) to get insight and ideas from all levels of stakeholders for foundation of the strategic plan and document. The plan would exemplify successes and accomplishments made to date, incorporate the strengths and weaknesses of the stakeholder teams, and highlight areas for further development, with the result being long term goals and short term objectives that comply with specific, measureable, achievable, relevant and time oriented criteria (SMART).
