The results are a stark assessment of the membership’s low morale and lack of faith in their leadership, said association president Randy Henning. Just 11 per cent of the officers who took part in the survey feel senior management at the Durham Regional Police Service is doing a good job, according to the survey, conducted for the Durham Regional Police Association (DRPA) by the polling firm Pollara. A majority of Durham police officers have expressed a lack of confidence in their senior leadership, with more than half of them saying police Chief Paul Martin ought to be replaced, according to a membership survey. “The status quo at the Durham Regional Police Service (DRPS) is not sustainable.”In a statement March 15, Chief Martin said he’s taking the survey results seriously. “I respect the issues and concerns that have been brought forward in the survey and will work with my leadership team over the next few weeks to analyze the results in greater detail,” Martin said.
