STPS 2023-2027 Strategic PlanDownload

STPS Strategic Plan 2023-2027

Prior to their Strategic Planning session in July 2022, the STP Board reached out to seek input on their efforts. Members of the communities, stakeholders and affiliated persons and groups were invited to participate in a survey leading up to the July 20 to 21 weekend. Their responses and views regarding the policing service were heard by the STP Board and now form an integral part of the organizations way forward in the next 5 years.

The STP Board has since completed the Strategic Plan for 2023-2027. Over a two-days period in Squamish, BC, the organization’s leaders determined their vision for the future and identified their goals and objectives for BC’s only recognized First Nations police service. Board members, STPS Chief Officer and Finance Clerk, representatives from both BC Ministry of Public Safety and Solicitor General and Canada Public Safety, plus one delegate from St’at’imc Chiefs Council successfully collaborated in updating the document to identify STPS top priorities that will lead the actions of the organization until 2027.

My name is Andrianna Peters.  I prefer to be called Andi.  I come from the Peters family.  My grandparents are Norman & Patricia Peters and my mother is Melissa Peters. I was born and raised in the Fraser Valley yet have made my way home to Tipella and the Stl’atl’imx territory throughout my life. I am currently into my second year on Council and am extremely appreciative of the experiences and opportunities it has given me so far, such as being placed in this role to join the Board of Directors of the STPS. I am sure to gain the same amount of respect and leadership guidance as I have within my own community and am dedicated in helping to contribute to a healthy, safe, culturally aware society.
