Strategically planning for the future of an organization almost guarantees the longevity of the organization. According to our text strategic planning to producing fundamental decisions and actions that shape and guide what an organization (or other entity) is, what it does, and why. Strategic planning may be thought of as a "way of knowing" intended to help leaders and managers discern what to do, how, and why. ( Bryson, J.M., 2017 .p.41) For any organization, not just the criminal justice system, strategic planning is a must. Most government organizations budget for fiscal years to come, projecting and planning is the most accurate way to predict what is come. Most of the time for smaller police departments it is the budget that causes the issues throughout the department. A police chief sheriff was quoted "Strategic planning for any law enforcement entity serves as a document that provides the vision and goals of the organization over time, with a roadmap for how those vision and goals will be accomplished. For a smaller organization a strategic plan provides stakeholders with a living document that allows for proper planning toward the priorities of the organization in accordance with the operating budget. ". (Flores, J. , 2019) Overall, strategic planning is necessary for the success of a police department. The more planed and prepared a department is, the more successful it will run.

As per a few specialists, a well thought out course of action further develops organization efficiency. Most businesses use strategic planning for the wrong goals, which leads to failure. Employees must accept accountability for their part in the strategic plan and take responsibility for it; The plan will be harmed, however, if this is not always the case. Criminal justice organizations frequently implement strategic plans, either to achieve their goal or to help staff members anticipate the company's future expansion.
