Client and partner survey results 2019-20
The RCMP aims to provide the best possible policing to the communities we serve. We conduct three surveys annually to get feedback from the Canadian public, our partners and our stakeholders about the work we do.

- increasing transparency
- increasing involvement or visibility within the community
- sharing information with our partners

How we're using these results
These surveys are a key element of our commitment to accountability. The results give us a view of:
- how Canadians and our contract and policing partners perceive us
- where they find value in our services
- where we are falling short of their expectations
We then use these results to assess our progress and to improve service delivery. Vision150 is our plan to improve transparency, innovation and modernization in the RCMP, based on solid evidence, such as these survey results.
