CRIME IMPACTS SURVEY

Has crime impacted you and/or your employees? 

The Cranbrook Chamber of Commerce wants to hear from all Cranbrook businesses.

This survey is the Cranbrook Chamber’s independent exercise. The findings will be used to inform the Chamber’s advocacy efforts, and to support future grant program applications for opportunities to secure funds to help mitigate crime. The name of your business or organization is required to authenticate the responses, but this information will not be shared without your explicit consent; results will be presented as aggregate data.

This aggregate data may be shared with other stakeholder groups including but not limited to:

Cranbrook Chamber Members, Board of Directors & Advocacy Committee
