Police asking for public input on action plan

Police are inviting input from the public and community stakeholders to help shape the 2026-2029 Oxford OPP Detachment Action Plan.

During the previous three years, Oxford OPP's Action Plan focused on crime, roadways, waterways and trails as well as community well-being.

“As we look ahead, we are seeking input from the community to help guide our priorities and improve outcomes for those that we serve. To do so, Oxford OPP's consultation process includes local businesses, school boards, community organizations, cultural associations, special interest groups, and members of the public - especially those from underrepresented and diverse communities,” said a police press release.

“We encourage everyone to take a few moments to complete the short survey linked below and share your thoughts on the focus areas for the 2026-2029 Action Plan.”

The survey can be found at https://forms.office.com/r/pnz6fN1smq and closes on Nov. 30.
