Thunder Bay police board received results of 2024 citizen satisfaction survey at its March meeting.
THUNDER BAY — Thunder Bay’s police chief says he’s not hearing concerns about personal safety from residents when he speaks with them, but newly-released results of a commissioned survey show some trepidation among respondents.
“The number of people that I've spoken to in this community, yet to hear one person come to me and tell me how they feel unsafe,” he said, adding that these are coming from one-on-one conversations. “I've spoken with a lot of people in this community, been to a lot of events, and, you know, we have work to do.”
“They're also more likely to say that crime has increased, they're a little bit less likely to be willing to contact the police service if they were a victim of crime or they were worried about something,” he told the meeting. “I think we need to continue our relationship building, and I think, you know, structuring ourselves with getting that executive director and be able to better focus on the things we need to focus as a board will help us continue and focus on those recommendations, which will help … those relationships.”
