As new executive leaders enter departments, it is critical not only to ensure their visions and missions are shared internally with their members but also that they are communicated to the communities they serve. A core component of a police executive’s mission and vision is typically to reduce violent crime. Chief executives will share how to efficiently share their mission and vision with their agency members and communities they serve and how this is assisting in their crime reduction efforts.
