The Blue Mountains OPP Detachment Board Resident Survey on Policing Priorities

As part of its mandate under the Community Safety and Policing Act, the Detachment Board for the Blue Mountains OPP is expected to develop policies and priorities for policing across the community. The Collingwood/Blue Mountains OPP Detachment is currently developing its draft 2026-2029 Action Plan, and the Board will provide input and guidance to its development.

The Board is seeking feedback from residents on their concerns and priorities for policing for the next 3 years, and their level of satisfaction with our policing services today.

Residents are invited to complete this survey by September 30, 2025. The results of the survey will be reviewed by the Detachment Board at its October meeting.

Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback!
