The citizens of Durham Region think highly of their police officers. Eighty-six per cent of Region residents were satisfied over the quality of police service. Ninety-two per cent of residents feel safe always or most of the time. When asked to share their opinions about our police officers, 82 per cent found officers approachable always or most of the time. When asked if officers were available available when needed, 71 per cent responded favourably. When asked if police officers were fair to people, 79 per cent said always or most of the time. The survey was done in conjunction with Police Foundation students from Durham College and was completed in two parts. A telephone survey took place March 4 - 8, 2002 followed by an identical hard copy version version mailed to every residence in Durham Region. The 15 per cent response rate on the hard copy was three times what the police were hoping for, resulting in 26,723 completed completed surveys returned to Headquarters. The results of both surveys were combined for the final totals. In every municipality in Durham Region, citizens were asked if the felt safe always, most of the time, some of the time, hardly ever or never. The highest feelings of safety (those who responded responded "always" and "most of the time") were found in Uxbridge (98.5 per cent), Whitby (95.5 per cent) and Clarington (93 per cent), followed followed closely by Scugog Township (91.5 per cent), Pickering (91 percent), Brock Township (90 percent), Ajax (87.5 per cent) and Oshawa (86.5 per cent). The survey results are accurate +/- 3 per cent, 19 times out of 20. The Corporate Planning & Development Unit will now analyze the results and further information will be shared with all members of the Service.
