Greater Sudbury Police Service and the Police Services Board want to hear from you.
With the two bodies now at the halfway mark of their shared 2024-2027 strategic direction, which helps focus and guide their actions and decisions, the police board is looking to get public feedback on how the police service is living up to the spirit of the strategic plan.
You can read the strategic direction here.
The police board said the strategic direction is based on polling done locally in 2022 of residents and businesses, and continues to “guide the Board and the Service in everything we do.”
The board is inviting residents to complete a short “touchpoint” survey on how the board and the police service are doing in terms of living up to what’s in the strategic direction document.
“Now that we have reached the halfway point of the plan, the board is checking back in with the community through a short touchpoint,” the police board said in a news release. “This touchpoint will help us measure where we are succeeding and where we can improve as we work to uphold our mission, vision and values.”
The release said the survey should take less than 10 minutes to complete. It is open until Oct. 15.
“The current Strategic Direction modernized the way the board and service approach their work,” Police board chair Gerry Lougheed Jr. said in the news release. “The board has been very pleased with the results we have seen internally and want to ensure that we are delivering on those results in the community.”

The touchpoint is hosted on ThoughtExchange, which allows participants to complete it in the language of their choice, the police board said.
