3 1.0 SUMMARY OF FINDINGS In 2014, the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo ( RMWB ) contracted Banister Research and Consulting Inc. ( Banister Research ) to conduct the 2014 RCMP and Bylaw Services Citizen Survey. As part of the research, Banister Research conducted two surveys: one telephone-based with 500 adult residents of the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo and one web-based with 224 adult residents. The questionnaire was designed by RCMP/Bylaw Services Corporate Support Services and is similar to the survey tool used in previous years. Comparisons to results from the 2013 and 2012 RCMP and Bylaw Services Citizen Surveys were made throughout the report where applicable. A copy of the survey instrument is provided in Appendix A. This report details the findings from the Telephone Survey; findings from the Web Survey are available under a separate report cover. Key findings from the 2014 RCMP and Bylaw Services Citizen Telephone Survey included the following: Community Policing/School & Youth Initiatives Nineteen percent (19%) of all respondents believed the crime level in their neighbourhoods increased over the past three years. Sixty-seven percent (67%) of respondents thought that crime levels had remained the same over the last three years, while 7% thought the crime level had decreased. Respondents mostly commonly indicated high ratings of safety during the day (either very or somewhat safe ): within their residence (97%), in public buildings (95%) and walking within their neighbourhoods (92%). o Lower proportions of respondents mentioned feeling safe when taking a taxi alone (55%) and using public transit (47%). Similar to the daytime safety ratings, respondents most commonly provided the highest rating of safety at night (either very or somewhat safe ) within their residence (92%). The next most common locations were: public buildings (81%), while in local malls or plazas (72%) and while driving (75%). o A smaller proportion of respondents indicated feeling safe: while waiting for public transit (32%), while taking a taxi by themselves (43%), in their downtown area (44%) and while walking in parks (53%). Sixty-six percent (66%) of respondents felt youth crime is an issue, while 29% did not. Eighty-two percent (82%) of respondents felt either very or somewhat safe in elementary schools during daytime hours. Similarly, post-secondary institutions were rated the second safest at 78%, while high schools yielded a rating of 69%. 3

4 RCMP/Policing Twenty-seven (27%) of respondents were aware of school resources and policing initiatives about youth crime and crime in school. o Those aware of school resources (n=135) were asked to specify of which resource or initiatives they were aware. Forty-nine percent (49%) were aware of School Resource Officers, 22% were aware of the Drug Abuse Resistance Education Program, or DARE, 7% were aware of the Aboriginal Community Constable Program, or ACCP and 4% were aware of the PARTY Program, or Prevent Alcohol and Risk related Trauma in Youth.

Sixteen percent (16%) of respondents indicated low satisfaction ratings (a rating of 1 or 2 out of 5). 4

5 Almost two-thirds of respondents who have been in contact with a member of the RCMP (n=213) (65%) reported a high level of satisfaction (a rating of 4 or 5 out of 5; n=75) overall with Wood Buffalo RCMP. Fifteen percent (15%) of respondents indicated a low level of satisfaction (a rating of 1 or 2 out of 5) overall with the RCMP. Twenty percent (20%) of respondents indicated moderate satisfaction (a rating of 3 out of 5) with the RCMP. Bylaw/Enforcement o Respondents who provided a low rating of satisfaction (1, 2, or 3 out of 5) were asked why they provided that rating. Just over one quarter of respondents (29%) stated police were slow to respond or did not respond. Other prevalent mentions included: investigations were performed poorly and disorganized (20%), police officers acted rudely, unprofessional, unfriendly, or uncaring (19%) and a lack of police presence (15%).

Over three-quarters (81%) of respondents indicated they had not had any issues with Animal Control, while 19% indicated they had. o Respondents were asked to specify what those issue(s) were. The most common issues mentioned were stray/wandering pets/animals (9%) and noisy pets (8%). o Respondents who have had an issue with animal control (n=96) were asked whether they contacted the Wood Buffalo Bylaw office specifically about animal control in the past year. Thirty-seven percent (37%) of respondents indicated they had while 64% had not. o Respondents who have had contacted animal control (n=35) were then asked how satisfied they were with Animal Control Enforcement in the community. Twenty-nine percent (29%) of respondents indicated high satisfaction (a rating of 4 or 5 out of 5), 6% indicated moderate satisfaction (a rating of 3 out of 5) and 66% indicated low satisfaction (a rating of 1 or 2 out of 5). 5

6 Respondents were asked what the most effective way was to provide them with information about Wood Buffalo Bylaw Services. The most frequently recommended method was internet (35%), followed by television/radio (25%).

About two-thirds (64%) of respondents had not been in contact with Bylaw Services. Thirty-five percent (35%) of respondents had been in contact with Bylaw Services. o Respondents who have been in contact with a member of Wood Buffalo Bylaw Services in the past 12 months (n=177) were asked to rate their level of satisfaction with the services received. Approximately one-quarter of respondents (26%) provided ratings of very satisfied with the service received by the Bylaw Services member. Eighteen percent (18%) indicated moderate satisfaction (a rating of 3 out of 5). Thirty percent (30%) of respondents provided low ratings of satisfaction (1 or 2 out of 5), a slight decrease from 2013 (34%). o Respondents who have been in contact with Bylaw Services were then asked to rate their overall satisfaction with Wood Buffalo Bylaw Services. Forty-three percent (43%) of respondents reported ratings of high satisfaction (a rating of 4 or 5 out of 5). Thirtythree percent (33%) reported low satisfaction ratings (a rating of 1 or 2 out of 5). Twenty-four percent (24%) of respondents indicated moderate satisfaction (a rating of 3 out of 5). o Respondents who indicated a low satisfaction (ratings of 1, 2, or 3 out of 5; n=100), were asked for the reasons behind their rating. The most common response was no follow-up provided/issue not resolved (24%). Respondents were asked for suggestions regarding changes or improvements to Wood Buffalo RCMP and Bylaw Services that would best meet residents needs. Most commonly, 21% respondents suggested increased visibility of RCMP and Bylaw Services and 7% suggested an improvement in public interaction, or friendlier/better attitude.

7 Taxi Services o Issues that least commonly received ratings of high importance included: enforcement of bylaws related to off-highway vehicle use (58%), bylaw involvement in rural communities (68%) and bylaw efforts to improve parking (74%). Services of higher than average importance but lower than average success are viewed as primary areas of improvement. Included are: o Reducing aggressive driving; and o Property crime, related to the reduction of auto theft and break and enters. The following areas rated as high importance and high success were calculated as strengths: o Reducing drinking and driving; o Organized crime, drug trafficking and gangs; o Traffic safety in terms of contributing to road safety; and o Police and community relations, particularly amongst youth. Sixty-nine percent (69%) of respondents stated there were no other priorities for the RCMP and Bylaw Services to focus on, whereas 27% felt there were. o Four percent (4%) of respondents believed driving infractions should be a future priority and another 4% believed there should be more RCMP/Bylaw Services presence.

Respondents most commonly indicated high quality service (responses of either excellent or good ) the availability of taxis during peak demand times (37%) and taxi driver knowledge of the destination or location within RMWB (35%). Respondents were least likely to indicate a high quality service rating for the Fare/Rates (20%). Fifty-four percent (54%) of respondents reported high agreement that taxis arrived in less than 20 minutes (compared to 51% in 2013). Forty-seven percent (47%) reported the most economical route was used to get to their destination. Thirty-three percent (33%) reported they felt safe while taking a taxi.

8 2.0 PROJECT BACKGROUND In 2014, the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo ( RMWB ) contracted Banister Research and Consulting Inc. ( Banister Research ) to conduct the 2014 RCMP and Bylaw Services Citizen Survey. A total of 500 telephone surveys and 224 web surveys were completed, using a questionnaire designed by RCMP/Bylaw Services Corporate Support Services that was similar to the survey used in previous years. Comparisons to results from the 2013 and 2012 RCMP and Bylaw Services Citizen Survey were made where applicable. As part of the project, Banister Research conducted the following: General Population Telephone Survey (n=500). Age, gender and urban/rural quotas were established to ensure proper demographic representation of the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo. The survey was conducted from October 27th to December 8th, o Results reflect a margin of error no greater than ±4.4% at the 95% confidence level, or 19 times out of 20. Stakeholder Web-Based Survey (n=224). To support the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo s dedication to inclusive public process, Banister Research provided an online version of a survey from November 7th to the 24st, The Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo was responsible for advertising and communicating the survey opportunity to citizens. Please Note: Due to the opt-in or self-select nature of web-based surveys, results cannot be generalized to the population of the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo. As in previous years, the objectives of the 2014 study were to provide the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo with feedback regarding citizen satisfaction with various aspects of the municipality s police and Bylaw Services. Specific objectives included: General perceptions about the overall level of safety within the RMWB; Identifying top regional and neighbourhood policing priorities; Determining perceptions of visibility and presence of police and Bylaw officers within the community; Assessing satisfaction with services provided by RCMP and Bylaw Services; Finding out how residents get their RCMP and Bylaw Services information; and Assessing the current RCMP and Bylaw Services performance and priorities for the future. 8

9 3.0 METHODOLOGY All components of the project were designed and executed in close consultation with the Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo (the Client). A detailed description of each task of the project is outlined in the remainder of this section. 3.1 Project Initiation and Questionnaire Design At the outset of the project, all background information relevant to the study was identified and subsequently reviewed by Banister Research. The consulting team familiarized itself with the objectives of the client ensuring a full understanding of the issues and concerns to be addressed in the project. The result of this task was an agreement on the research methodology, a detailed work plan and project initiation. For reporting purposes, the 2014 survey version was similar to that of the versions used for the 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009 and 2008 Regional Municipality of Wood Buffalo RCMP and Bylaw Services Citizen Surveys, with a few small changes. A copy of the final questionnaire is provided in Appendix A. 3.2 Survey Population and Data Collection A total of 500 telephone interviews were completed with RMWB residents 18 years of age or older. Telephone interviews were conducted between October 27 th and December 8 th, Telephone survey results provide a margin of error no greater than +4.4%, at the 95% confidence level or 19 times out of 20. It is important that when considering the survey findings, the reader should note the sample error tolerances associated with the sample sizes vary by sub-group. The sampling strategy for the telephone survey involved randomly dialing phone numbers from the most recent telephone directory of the RMWB. Quotas were established to ensure equal proportions of males and females and urban and rural respondents, as well as diversity in age. To maximize the representativeness of the sample, a maximum of five call back attempts were made to each listing prior to excluding it from the final sample. Busy numbers were scheduled for a call back every fifteen minutes. Where there was an answering machine, fax or no answer, the call back was scheduled at a different time period on the following day. The first attempts to reach each listing were made during the evening or on weekends. Subsequent attempts were made at a different time on the following day. The following table presents the results of the final call attempts. Using the call summary standard established by the Market Research and Intelligence Association, there was a 13% response rate and a 73% refusal rate. It is important to note the calculation used for both response and refusal rates is a conservative estimate and does not necessarily measure respondent interest in the subject area. 9

10 Summary of Final Call Attempts Call Classification: Number of Calls: Completed Interviews 500 Busy/No answer/answering machine/respondents unavailable 2455 Refusals 1644 Fax/Modem/Business 240 Not-In-Service/Wrong number 2596 Communication/Language barrier 4 Disqualified/Quota full 182 Total 7621 At the outset of the fieldwork, all telephone interviewers and supervisors were given a thorough stepby-step briefing, explaining everything required for the successful completion of an interview. To ensure quality, at least 20% of each interviewer's work was monitored by a supervisor on an on-going basis. The telephone based questionnaire was programmed into Banister Research s Computer Assisted Telephone Interviewing System (CATI). Using this system, data collection and data entry were simultaneous, as data was entered into a computer file while the interview was being conducted. Furthermore, the CATI system allowed interviewers to directly enter verbatim responses to open-ended questions. Throughout the process, Banister Research maintained respondent confidentiality. 10

11 3.3 Data Analysis and Project Documentation While data was being collected, Banister Research provided either a written or verbal progress report to the Client. After the questionnaires were completed and verified, all survey data was compiled into a computerized database for analysis. Data analysis included cross-tabulation, whereby the frequency and percentage distribution of the results for each question were broken down based on respondent characteristics and responses (e.g. length of residency, demographics, etc.). Statistical analysis included a Z-test to determine if there were significant differences in responses between respondent subgroups. Results were reported as statistically significant at the 95% confidence level. A list of responses to each open-ended question was generated by Banister Research. The lead consultant reviewed the list of different responses to the open-ended or verbatim question and then a code list was established. To ensure consistency of interpretation, the same team of coders was assigned to this project from start to finish. The coding supervisor verified at least 10% of each coder s work. Once the questionnaires were fully coded, computer programs were written to check the data for quality and consistency. All survey data was compiled into a computerized database for analysis. Utilizing SPSS analysis software, the survey data was reviewed to guarantee quality and consistency (e.g., proper range values and skip patterns). The detailed data tables have been provided under a separate cover. It is important to note that any discrepancies between charts, graphs or tables are due to rounding of the numbers. 11

12 4.0 TELEPHONE SURVEY FINDINGS Results of the survey are presented as they relate to the specific topic areas addressed by the survey. It is important to note the data tables, under a separate cover, provide a detailed analysis of all survey findings. This report details the findings from the Telephone Survey; findings from the Web Survey are in a separate report. The reader should also note when reading the report the term significant refers to statistical significance. Only those respondent subgroups which reveal statistically significant differences at the 95% confidence level (19 times out of 20) have been included. Respondent subgroups that are statistically similar have been omitted from the presentation of findings. 4.1 Community Policing/School & Youth Initiatives Respondents were asked about their perceptions about community policing, including school and youth initiatives. To begin, respondents were asked about their perceptions of the level of crime in their neighbourhoods over the past three years. Nineteen percent (19%) of all respondents believed the crime level in their neighbourhoods increased, compared to 24% in Sixty-seven percent (67%) of respondents thought that crime levels had remained the same over the last three years, while 7% thought the crime level had decreased. See Figure 1 on the following page. 12

14 Respondents were asked to rate their feelings of safety in several locations within their neighbourhood during the day. Respondents mostly commonly indicated high ratings of safety (either very or somewhat safe ): within their residence (97%, same as in 2012 and 2013), in public buildings (95%, same as 2012 and 2013) and walking within their neighbourhoods (92%, comparable to 87% in 2013). Lower proportions of respondents mentioned feeling safe when taking a taxi alone (55%, comparable to 51% in 2013) and using public transit (47%, same as 2013). It is important to note almost one-half (47%) of the respondents were unable to provide a response regarding safety when using public transit, contributing to the lower safety percentage. See Figures 2 and 3 and Table 1 below and on the following pages for more information.
