Strategic Plan

The Fire Department’s Strategic Plan sets forth the department’s vision and mission, identifies departmental values, and outlines a series of measurable goals and objectives for service delivery. The first Strategic Plan was created in 2006 as part of the accreditation process and then updated in 2011.

A 19-member Strategic Plan Committee received public input and then developed the current plan with assistance from an independent, professional facilitator. The committee included administrative, supervisory and line employees from the Washington Township Fire Department and elected and administrative officials from both the township and city.

The plan incorporates community and committee member input. Accredited fire agencies must renew their accreditation every five years and update their Strategic Plan midway between reaccreditation.
