National Survey Reveals Public's Call for Reformed Policing and Shift Towards Community Investments

OTTAWA, Ontario, Jan. 21, 2025 — The National Police Federation's recent survey may suggest that while there is support for the RCMP, a growing segment of Canadians are advocating for a redirection of funds towards community-led safety initiatives and mental health services, rather than traditional police budget increases. This comes amidst a national conversation on rethinking public safety and justice, indicating a shift in public opinion towards more equitable and community-focused policing models.
