Nova Scotians to provide feedback on policing services

July 11, 2024, Halifax, N.S. – Nova Scotians have been asked to share their opinions and perspectives about the current state of policing in the province, as well as their vision of what policing should look like in the future.

The Department of Justice of Nova Scotia has launched an anonymous survey as part of the province’s comprehensive review of policing services. Submissions are being accepted until July 31.

“Nova Scotians deserve to have their say about how this important service is delivered in our communities,” said Attorney General and Justice Minister Barbara Adams. “I hope as many people as possible take a moment to share their experiences and ideas with us so we can create a law enforcement system that is responsive and meets the needs of the people it serves.”

There will be in-person public engagement later this summer and into the fall, informed by an advisory committee that includes representatives from government, law enforcement agencies and non-profit organizations, as well as the Indigenous, African Nova Scotian and newcomer communities.

The policing review is expected to be completed by the spring of 2025.
