2009 Customer Satisfaction Survey
In
an effort to continuously improve the quality of service provided to the
citizens of the Town of LaSalle, the LaSalle Police Service initiated a
“Customer Satisfaction Survey”. Beginning in April 2009, patrol supervisors
randomly contacted 94 members of the public who had requested assistance or made
a call for service. Calls for service include break and enter, assault, theft
and mischief. Respondents to the survey were asked a series of questions based
on their contact. Questions range from “How promptly was your call answered by
LaSalle Police Service dispatch?” to “How would you rate the overall service
that you received from the LaSalle Police Service”.
To promote openness
and transparency, the LaSalle Police Service is releasing the results of the
survey. "Go to Important News" for more information.

Service took part in this years Rotary Club Packs For Success Campaign. The
campaign provides backpacks and school supplies for area children whose families
cannot afford them.
Donations for the
backpacks and supplies were generously donated by the LaSalle Police Service,
the LaSalle Police Association, individual employees of the LaSalle Police
Service and the Town of LaSalle and also community residents who collected
$256.00.
As a result of the
donations a total of 50 backpacks were filled for students grades 4 to 6.

Chief's Message
The
LaSalle Police Service has become a younger organization.
Newly hired officers replaced several retirees, officer compliment was
increased and added civilians to take on dispatch contracts.
In attempts to keep costs respectable, changes at all levels of the
organization have taken place with administration being challenged with
resources available. Yet we continue to keep LaSalle one of the most cost
effective municipal police services in Ontario.
