Port Moody Police Department is asking residents to weigh in on public safety issues as part of an online survey that has gone live this week.
The input will be used in the formulation of a strategic plan that will guide the department when it comes spending money to best serve the community's needs.
"We value the ideas and perspective of the general public," Port Moody Police Chief Const. Chris Rattenbury said in a press release. "We're interested in understanding community priorities and concerns as we make plans to shape the future of our department."
In the release, the department said the initiative is a way of seeking residents' views on how the service is provided across the city. The survey includes 11 multiple-choice and short-answer questions on policing, crime and public safety, and is open to anyone who lives, works or attends school in Port Moody.
The questionnaire is completely anonymous and all entries will be submitted to an independent third-party that will provide the results to Port Moody Police.
Those wishing to take the survey can do so through Sept. 16 by clicking here. Respondents will be offered an opportunity to enter a prize draw for a chance to win a $100 gift certificate to one of three local businesses: Spa Divine at the Inlet, Port Moody Flowers and Saint St. Grill.
