Strategic Plan

Strategic planning sessions were held in 2023/2024 with members from Kentville Police Service and the Kentville Board of Police Commissioners. Based on discussions and surveys, categories were identified as areas that are relative to our mission/vision and values. Within each category, we have identified key objectives that we feel are vital to the growth of our service and we will be focusing on them over the term of this strategic plan. The Chief of Police will update the Kentville Board of Police Commissioners every 6 months on the progress of the Strategic Plan categories to ensure accountability. Category updates will be available on this page in the "Related Documents" section as they become available.
