Improve the safety of people and property
Identify Key Indicators of Success
How citizens measure success sets the decision framework. For example, longer life expectancy or lower incidence of disease would indicate to most people that the population was healthier. Similarly, high employment rates usually signal that the economy is doing well.
Identify Proven or Promising Strategies
Research and experience suggest that certain strategies are more likely to help us achieve the identified success indicators. We evaluate whether currently budgeted strategies and activities accomplish what was intended.
Develop a Results-Based Prioritization of Activities
This framework provides the criteria for choosing activities that best accomplish desired outcomes. With limited resources, we invest in activities that connect to chosen strategies.
