The Policing Transformation Working Group is seeking the public’s input to help shape the future of policing services in the province. The Working Group developed a detailed survey as part of public engagement efforts to hear from Newfoundlanders and Labradorians.

The survey was developed with feedback from several community partners: Stella’s Circle, First Light, End Homelessness St John’s, Office of the Seniors’ Advocate, City of St John’s, End Sexual Violence, Public Legal Information Association, Thrive, and Transition House Association of Newfoundland and Labrador.

This confidential and voluntary survey will take approximately 20 minutes to complete. All responses will be kept anonymous, and only overall results will be shared.

The survey is available here until January 22, 2025. The survey is being administered by Quality of Care NL, an applied health and social systems research and evaluation program based at Memorial University. Quality of Care NL has expertise in public engagement and survey development, including management of the public engagement process for Health Accord NL.

For any questions about the survey or if you require assistance in completing the survey, please email policingtransformation@gov.nl.ca. In addition, the Working Group thanks the Newfoundland and Labrador Public Libraries for helping anyone requiring assistance to complete the survey.

Established by the Provincial Government in 2023, the Police Transformation Working Group is mandated to evaluate Newfoundland and Labrador’s current policing model, conduct public engagement, and provide ongoing advice to ensure Newfoundlanders and Labradorians receive the most effective and efficient policing services possible.
