Have your say on the 2026 Ottawa Police Budget; Survey launched

(Ottawa) — The Ottawa Police Service Board (OPSB) and the Ottawa Police Service (OPS) are inviting residents and stakeholders to provide input on the upcoming 2026 Police Budget through the 2025 Budget Consultation Survey. The Board is seeking feedback from the community to ensure the budget reflects the priorities, expectations, and concerns of those who live and work in Ottawa. 

The survey will close on Tuesday, August 5, 2025. 

We encourage all Ottawa residents aged 18 and older to participate in the survey, which is expected to take approximately five minutes to complete. Your input will help guide how police resources are prioritized and allocated in the 2026 Draft Budget.
