The Blue Mountains OPP Detachment Board is pleased to share the results of its Community Policing Priorities survey.
At its regular meeting on October 22, 2025, The Blue Mountains OPP Detachment Board reviewed the results of the public survey conducted from September 2 to September 30, 2025, to assess priorities for policing across the Town of the Blue Mountains both today and over the next several years.
Overall, more than 70% of respondents indicated they were satisfied or very satisfied with the style and level of policing services provided by the OPP in The Blue Mountains. Crimes against persons, drugs & weapons, fraud prevention and traffic management ranked as the most important priorities for policing over the next three years.
More than 200 residents completed the survey. “We were very happy with the number of responses from the community to the survey,” said Detachment Board chairman Jim Oliver. The full survey results are available on the OPP Detachment webpage.
The Collingwood/The Blue Mountains OPP detachment is currently drafting its “action plan” for the 2026 – 2029 period, and one of the local detachment board’s mandates is to provide input to help shape the action plan and determine priorities for police service within the broad “community safety and wellbeing” umbrella. The resident survey was intended to help inform the board on local concerns and priorities.
The Board will be discussing the draft 3-year Action Plan with the detachment commander and senior staff over the coming months, and at the Board’s next meeting in January.
