Every two years, the Winnipeg Police Service, in conjunction with the Winnipeg Police Board, contracts out a public opinion telephone survey to an independent agency. The anonymous survey asks citizens about their view of the Service and their opinions about crime and public safety in our city. During the week of July 27, 2026, Prairie Research Associates (a local independent market research firm) will randomly call individuals in all areas of the City of Winnipeg. The survey requires approximately 15 minutes to complete.  

Once completed, the survey results will be made public and discussed at a public Winnipeg Police Board meeting and posted on the Winnipeg Police Service and Winnipeg Police Board websites.
   
Citizens can be assured the survey is legitimate if they receive a call from Prairie Research Associates between these dates. 

If you are 18 and older, please consider participating in this valuable opinion survey. Your feedback is how change begins. 

The Winnipeg Police Service thanks all residents who take the time to participate in the survey.
