London Police Service launches survey on safety and services
The London Police Service is launching its annual public survey, inviting Londoners to share their perspectives on community safety and police services.
The phone survey runs throughout May and June 2025. The research is conducted in partnership with Advanis, a leading Canadian market research firm.
As part of the national policing survey initiative, this project enables the LPS to benchmark results both locally and nationally, while also including custom questions tailored to the specific priorities of the community.
The survey helps police monitor trends over time, inform strategic planning, and ensure that police services continue to meet the evolving needs of the community.
'We want to clarify that participation in this research is by random selection only, which ensures that the results are representative of the broader population and free from bias. If your phone number is randomly selected, you will receive a call from Tell City Hall with details on how to participate,' said a news release from police.
'Unfortunately, we are unable to accept requests to join the study outside of this process to safeguard the representativeness of the research results.'
Anyone with questions about the selection process, or to verify the legitimacy of an invitation you received, contact LPS.

‘There's still a fight to fight': Marking four years since the Afzaal family attack
It has been four years since the Afzaal family was killed. CTV London's Lauren Stallone reports. June 6, 2021, was a wake-up call for Esa Islam when his cousin and her family were killed in a targeted attack. The victims were Alman Afzaal, his wife Madiha, their 15-year-old daughter Yumna and 74-year-old grandmother Talat, along with a surviving nine-year-old boy. He said he knew he had to do something to help put an end to Islamophobia. 'The terrorist that killed my cousin and her family was someone not that far out of high school himself and it shows that radicalization happens when the people are young,' he said. 'In order to actually combat that, we have to start at the same age.' Youth Coalition Combating Islamophobia Youth Coalition Combating Islamophobia. (Lauren Stallone/CTV News London) Now nearly four years later, Islam is working with other youth advocates, through the Youth Coalition Combating Islamophobia (YCCI), to prevent similar attacks from happening in the future. 'We don't have to see another family walking down the street and then killed by hate ever again,' said Islam. The YCCI is made up of individuals actively fighting Islamophobia through education, community engagement, and advocacy. 'We are canvassing around the neighborhoods around London with postcards about what is June 6, a quick paragraph that tells people what happened, why, and what we need to do as next steps,' said Islam. Islam said he hopes this is just the beginning of radical change he can be a part of. 'The unfortunate thing is that there's still a fight to fight, it's not over yet,' he said. The YCCI will be hosting an evening prayer on Friday to commemorate four years since the tragedy. 'This is something that will stay in our history forever, so we have to move past it, not by forgetting it, but by using it to fuel ourselves to make sure that it never happens again,' said Islam.
