London police are asking the public for assistance -- not to locate a suspect, but to help the department plan its future.

Police are asking Londoners for their two cents and inviting the public to three community consultations.

“We want to hear about the policing issues most important to Londoners to ensure they are considered as we develop our next three-year business plan,” said Chief John Pare in a statement Monday.

Pare, along with police service board members and Deputy Chiefs Steve Williams and Daryl Longworth, will be attending the meetings. Among other topics, police are asking for feedback on crime prevention, assistance for victims and emergency response strategies.

“London is a wonderfully diverse city in terms of cultures, neighbourhoods and backgrounds,” board chair Jeannette Eberhard said in a statement Monday.

“We are looking forward to hearing from people who represent all of the diversity this city encompasses.”

Police have also conducted a survey of 5,000 random households and met with school boards, business and neighbourhood associations to build their policing priorities for 2019-21.
