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.
