INDIANAPOLIS —The Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department (IMPD) recently announced the development of a long-term strategic plan designed to guide the department’s future over the next five years. This plan will establish a clear vision, set meaningful goals, and create a roadmap that strengthens both public safety services and internal operations while addressing the needs of officers, professional staff, and the Indianapolis community.
To ensure a comprehensive, neutral, and inclusive approach, IMPD has partnered with Taylor Advising, a locally owned business with deep connections throughout Indianapolis. Taylor Advising will facilitate conversations with officers, professional staff, major stakeholders, and community members to gather valuable input. As an objective voice, Taylor Advising will assist in compiling key insights to develop a plan that reflects both the community, officers and professional staff.
IMPD officers and professional staff will have multiple opportunities to contribute their ideas and perspectives on enhancing the department. Additionally, community members will play a crucial role by completing an anonymous survey and sharing their feedback on what they want from their police department in the coming years. This collaborative effort will ensure the final plan reflects the needs and expectations of both law enforcement professionals and the residents they serve.

The anticipated timeline for the strategic plan development will be a months-long process, with the first draft expected in November. IMPD will announce and implement the final plan is January 2026.
