Rural Crime Survey

 Rural Crime Survey

A collaborative undergraduate student research group from the University of Calgary and Mount Royal University has developed a questionnaire for rural residents. The survey asks questions regarding your experience with, and perception of crime in your community.

Results from this survey will be used in a presentation for Mountain View Council and the RCMP at the 2019 ACCPA conference in Canmore. We ask that you participate in the survey and circulate it to your neighbours.

If you are interested in participating a link to the survey and more information can be found here: http://www.oldsruralcrimewatch.ca/news.html#meeting
