A heads up that you may get a call asking your opinion about police services in Niagara.
Starting on Monday and running until Halloween, the Niagara Regional Police Service will be conducting a Community Satisfaction Survey as it prepares to develop its 2019-2021 Business Plan.
The Service will be using the services of Drs. Irwin Cohen and Amanda McCormick from the Centre for Public Safety and Community Justice Research, University of the Fraser Valley to conduct the telephone survey of randomly drawn households in Niagara.
In total 1,000 interviews will be completed via telephone.
Members of the public contacted to complete the 15 minute telephone survey can expect questions related to their perception of police effectiveness, their sense of safeness in the community, the importance of community programs delivered, and future policing priorities.
The callers will not be asking for money or any personal information.
If any resident questions the authenticity of the telephone survey if contacted by the researchers, they can contact Dr. Paul Divers, Corporate Analyst, at 905-688-4111 at ext. 5008, between 8:00am and 4:00pm, Monday through Friday.
