Study to help fire department set policy

The Riverside Fire Department is seeking the public’s help in putting together its strategic plan for the next five years.

The 2022-2027 Strategic Plan, which will be consulted regularly, will help department officials set policy and evaluate the department’s performance.

A survey, in English and Spanish, is available on the city’s website – www.riversideca.gov – and takes approximately five minutes to fill out.

“Strategic planning can serve as an opportunity to unify the community, management, employees, and stakeholders through a common understanding of where the organization is going while ensuring transparency and communication throughout,” the statement reads. “This survey process helps certify the needs of the community are met on all levels and will help keep the strategic plan document relevant and current during its five-year cycle of implementation.”
