Paper copies of the survey can be picked up and dropped off at the following locations in the City of Owen Sound:

Slow Down

Be prepared for additional roving radar throughout the City. Officers continue to clock motorists driving at or above 70km in a City that has posted signs of 50km or 40km, especially in neighborhoods. #SlowDown #ChargesLaid

Foot Patrol

Foot patrol happens throughout the City, at all hours, when call volume allows. Owen Sound is a busy little City & we understand the importance of foot patrol whether it’s in the River District or along the harbour, or in areas vehicles can't travel. #CrimePrevention

To our Auxiliary Officers: thank you for your unwavering service and the countless hours you devote to our community. You are truly making a difference!
