Policing & Community Safety Survey

To be effective in maintaining safety and security in our neighbourhoods, active participation from all community members is required. Sharing information, tips, eyes on the street, and collaboration between community and law enforcement makes for safer and more secure neighbourhoods. Can Ottawa community associations do more to work collaboratively with Ottawa Police? The FCA wants to hear your take on the issue. Below is a short survey we are asking you to complete. We ask that you fill out the survey by December 6th.

Please fill out our short survey which you will find at https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/BSJ8R76
