Oak Bay Police Department 2008 Community Survey Results

The objective of this survey was to design a product with the intentions of gathering empirical data to assist in the strategic planning of the Oak Bay Police Department. Ultimately it is the responsibility and obligation of the Oak Bay Police Department to discover unmet community needs, to establish long-term community relationships, gauge the effectiveness of our business delivery system, ascertain relative strengths and areas that need to be improved, and finally to develop an action plan to tackle critical business concerns. By conducting this survey the Oak Bay Police were able to establish "what’s going on," provide an opportunity to discuss key topics with the community stakeholders, prioritize actions based on objective data, and to provide a benchmark or snapshot of the population’s attitudes and perception for policing in this community.
