• <br /> CITIZEN REVIEW OF THE INVESTIGATIONS SERVICE PROFILE <br /> The Investigations Service Profile was reviewed by the Police Forum. The Forum was formed to serve in an <br /> advisory capacity for policing issues. Its role is to influence decisions and help identify community issues related <br /> to the community policing transition. The forum reviews departmental policies and proposals, including the <br /> review of service profiles closely related to police services. Fewer than 20% of Forum members returned <br /> questionnaires; therefore, the response numbers may not accurately reflect the Forum's support for the different <br /> policy areas of the profile. The documented dialogue and comments appear to indicate a high degree of <br /> support. <br /> Feedback on Policy Areas: <br /> Mission: <br /> Question to the group: Do you agree the mission statement captures the essence of why this <br /> service system exists? <br /> Responses: Yes 2 No _0_ Maybe _1_ <br /> Summary of Comments: <br /> Two Forum members thought the mission statement did not identify a clear difference from Policing and <br /> Prevention. <br /> Action Taken: <br /> As the Department of Public Safety moves towards community policing, the differences between the two <br /> services will, in reality, become Tess and less distinct. Therefore, the service team specifically chose the similar <br /> mission statement. <br /> Direction Needed from Budget Committee: <br /> N/A <br /> Outcomes: <br /> Question to the group: Do you agree the outcomes reflect the longer range desired results to <br /> which this service's outputs contribute? <br /> Responses: Yes _1_ No 0 _ Maybe _3_ <br /> Summary of Comments: <br /> Information was requested concerning the outcome "Community access to crime analysis." No suggested <br /> changes. <br /> Action Taken: <br /> N/A <br /> Direction Needed from Budget Committee: <br /> N/A <br /> System Measures: <br /> I. Question to the group: Do you agree that the effectiveness measure tells you how well the <br /> service's desired results are accomplished? <br /> Responses: Yes _3_ No _1_ Maybe _0_ <br /> Summary of Comments: <br /> The possibility of including a measure to evaluate the benefits of inter - jurisdictional investigations performance <br /> measures was discussed. <br /> 1 II -36 <br />
