Sault Ste. Marie Police Business Plan survey

The Sault Ste. Marie Police Service is currently in the process of developing our next Business Plan. 

As part of this, a survey is being conducted by Oraclepoll Research Limited. 

A number of local residents, businesses and community groups will be contacted at random and asked to take part in this survey.

If you are contacted by a person conducting the survey, you will have the option of completing the survey over the phone, online, or having a survey package mailed to you.

This survey is designed to ask a variety of questions ranging from rating past police service experiences to specific concerns in our community. 

Oraclepoll will not be asking participants for any personal information or personal security questions. 

All information that would identify a survey participant will be kept confidential.

As with anything, if you are unsure of the person contacting you ask several questions. 

Don’t forget that you can ask for them to provide the survey to you in the mail or to allow you to participate online.

If you are still unsure, please contact the Sault Ste. Marie Police Service to verify the source of the survey.

The resulting report will be used to help the Police Service establish performance objectives and strategies that will build the framework for policing in our jurisdiction for the next three years.

It is the hope of the Sault Ste. Marie Police Service that if you are contacted, you will participate in the survey. 

The input from our citizens is paramount in developing a business plan for the communities that we serve.
