A smart approach to management.

Our continuous achievements are the strongest measure of our success.

We take a strategic planning approach to managing our agency. Strategic planning is driven by our mission and vision statements, which are supported by seven broad correctional goals, each of which, in turn, is supported by specific objectives. The BOP's Executive Team holds regular planning sessions to ensure that the agency's strategic goals continue to address the major issues and challenges that face the agency both today and into the future.
