The clock is ticking on a public survey around hiring a new police chief in Thunder Bay.

The Thunder Bay Police Services Board (TBPSB) has a survey open for the public to fill out that will help the TBPSB determine what qualities including leadership, and experience, are needed in this role.

A statement from the TBPSB says, “Community feedback is vital to this selection process.”

Firm Odgers Berndtson has been hired to help the Board with the recruitment of the new Chief, and it will be reviewing the public’s responses to the survey.

Questions include:

• From your perspective, what are the issues and challenges facing the Thunder Bay Police Service
  today and over the next 2-3 years in terms of management and service to the community?
• Within that context, what should be the priorities for the new Chief?
• What skills, qualities, and experience should we be looking for in the new Chief?

The deadline for feedback is this Friday, September 16th.
