Operational Plan 2021-22
Purpose of the Operational Plan
The Queensland Police Service (QPS) Operational Plan 2021-22 (operational plan) contributes to the Government’s objectives for the community to back
our frontline services and safeguard our health. It does this by highlighting our operational responses to address the key strategic risks and opportunities
impacting our service delivery in 2021-22. The annual operational plan should be read in conjunction with the QPS Strategic Plan 2021-2025.
The key strategic risks and opportunities are high-level risks which require identification, treatment, monitoring and management by the QPS senior
executives and peak governance boards. This is achieved through several mechanisms, one of which is the agency-level operational plan.
The operational plan is informed by the:
∗ QPS 2021 Environmental Scan
∗ QPS Audit and Risk Committee consultation and associated strategic risk reports
∗ Government election commitments
∗ QPS-related priorities in the Minister for Police Portfolio Priorities Statement
∗ QPS Strategic Plan 2021-2025
The plan complies with the Agency Planning Requirements prepared by the Department of the Premier and Cabinet and the requirements of Division 2 of
the Financial and Performance Management Standard 2019.

Levels of planning
The various levels within the QPS prepare operational plans to reflect actions to be undertaken at each level as they relate to the strategic direction
established through the Strategic Plan. Figure 1 outlines these levels. For more information, see the QPS Guide to Strategic and Operational Planning 2021-
22.

QPS Operational Plan 2021-22
The policing environment is dynamic, and we must remain agile in our responses. For this reason, operational plans are ‘living documents’ and should
be continually reviewed. Therefore, although some specific key activities scheduled for 2021-22 are already included for reporting, there may be
changes in the activities and/or the operational priorities included in quarterly reports over the 12 months.
Our operational priorities in 2021-22
Operational priorities are not intended to include everything the QPS does as part of the important core business in keeping Queensland safe.
Operational priorities focus on areas where new emphasis, funding or attention to outcomes will be undertaken to address one or more of our
strategic risks and opportunities. Stand-alone priorities relating to domestic and family violence and road safety have been included to appropriately
reflect their importance to the QPS along with the ongoing impact of COVID-19.
