| Development of new DHS and CBP 5-year strategic plans under way
By Johanna Roark, Strategic Planning Program Manager, Office of Policy and Planning |
To drive future Department of Homeland Security (DHS) budget and activities, the department is well on its way to developing a new 2007-2012 Strategic Plan. Representatives from each component have participated in developing and reviewing the plan, and the final draft plan is due to Congress on September 30, 2006. It will feature four goals:- Protecting the American people, society and the economy;
- Promoting national resilience;
- Sharing reliable information and intelligence; and
- Structuring a unified department.
CBP employees support all four goals in some way, and they will guide the update to the current CBP 2005-2010 Protecting America Strategic Plan. As a first step to developing the CBP 2008-2013 Plan, which will be published late next year, the Office of Policy and Planning (OPP) invites employees to review the current plan and submit suggestions for improvements to CBP.Strategic.Plan@Customs.Treas.GovOver the next few months, OPP will talk with employees, senior leadership, experts, partners and other stakeholders regarding trends and issues that CBP will face in the future.
