The RCMP's Policing Partners and Stakeholders Survey includes general questions evaluating the RCMP, as well as specific questions about the RCMP business lines with which our partners work, e.g. Federal Policing, Contract and Indigenous Policing, Specialized Policing Services. This year, there were 1,773 respondents.
Policing partners and stakeholders are representatives of other policing services and government agencies and departments the RCMP works with, as well as non-governmental organizations that have a strong interest in RCMP activities, such as civil liberties associations and legal organizations.
