Public Safety Survey from 2017

To ensure residents across the District were provided an opportunity to participate in the discussion around public safety, the qualities of a permanent chief of police, and public safety priorities for the District, the Office of the Deputy Mayor for Public Safety and Justice conducted a survey. Residents could take the survey online or complete it in person at recreation centers, senior centers, and libraries. The survey was publicized in Mayor Bowser’s weekly newsletter, on neighborhood list-servs, and in a link on all District government emails. The survey was open to the public between January 26th and February 13th 2017. We collected over 7000 responses, of which we identified 3990 as valid responses from District residents.
