The Ottawa Police Services Board has commenced its national search for a new Chief of Police and wants to hear first from the community on what it should be looking for in an ideal candidate.Starting today, community members can provide their feedback through an online survey on what they believe are the issues and challenges facing the Ottawa Police Service; the top priorities for the next Chief of Police; and the required attributes, skills, and experience needed to be successful in the role. The survey is being launched in collaboration with the executive search firm conducting the recruitment, Odgers Berndtson.

The survey can be accessed from the following link, and will remain open until Friday, June 7, 2019, at 4:00 pm: https://survey.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_cTsuhrV6UaExSnz

Strengthening Police and Community Relationships

The Ottawa Police Services Board, in collaboration with the Ottawa Police Service, has developed this survey to better understand residents' perceptions of crime, neighbourhood concerns and satisfaction with police services in the city of Ottawa.

Your participation in completing the survey will assist us to determine future directions and police priorities.  The information collected will be used to better address the needs of residents, to enhance service delivery, and to strengthen community relations.

The survey should only take 10-15 minutes to complete. It is completely voluntary and anonymous.  You are not asked to identify yourself, and all information collected will remain confidential.

Please answer each question that applies to you.  You will be asked to either check a square * or type your answer in the space provided. You must be 18 years of age or older to complete the survey.
