2023 Workplace Census
Message from Chief Jason Bellaire on the 2023 Workplace Census
On behalf of the Windsor Police Service, I am pleased to share the findings of the 2023 Windsor Police Service Workplace Census. This is the first census completed at WPS since 2018.
This Census was conducted to examine the demographic makeup of our Service, share this information with the community, and help us become more responsive to the unique needs of all members. Data was collected over a three-month period from both sworn officers and civilian professionals.
The findings in this report highlight some progress we have made towards equity, diversity, and inclusion in our Service. At the same time, the report identifies areas for further improvement. Equity, diversity, and inclusion are key priorities for our organization – and to serve the diverse communities of Windsor and Amherstburg, we must reflect that diversity within our own ranks.
While the findings in this report are helpful, measuring equity, diversity, and inclusion in our Service goes beyond numbers. Our EDI Advisory Committee and Senior Leadership Team are committed to building an environment where each member feels respected and valued as an individual. Lastly, we are committed to helping our members navigate differences with empathy and understanding.
I would like to thank all members who participated in this census, and all those who are making our police service more equitable, diverse, and inclusive.
