10th Annual Citywide Seattle Public Safety Survey Seeks Your Input

Wallyhood heard from Talia, who is a research analyst at Seattle University and works with the Micro-Community Policing Plans (MCPP) team for SPD. The goal of that research is to review the annual Seattle Public Safety Survey results and provide opportunity for those who live and/or work in Seattle to discuss real time community safety concerns and build relationships with police at the precinct and micro- community (neighborhood) level. Talia asked that we share information about the survey with the Wallingford community.  Here’s the scoop:

Seattle University is administering the 10th annual citywide Seattle Public Safety Survey, which is accessible at publicsafetysurvey.org from October 15th through November 30th and is available in Amharic, Arabic, Chinese, English, Korean, Oromo, Somali, Spanish, Tagalog, Tigrinya and Vietnamese. The purpose of the survey is to solicit feedback on public safety and security concerns from those who live and/or work in Seattle. A report on the survey results will be provided to the Seattle Police Department to help them better understand neighborhood safety and security concerns. Community-police dialogues will be held in May-August 2025 to provide opportunity for police-community engagement about the results. More information on the Seattle Public Safety Survey, which is part of the Seattle Police Department’s Micro-Community Policing Plans (SPD MCPP), can be found on the SPD MCPP website.

Please circulate this email to your friends, family, co-workers and other community members. Flyers advertising the survey are available in 11 different languages to share, print, and post at your work, religious institution, community center, apartment, or other communal location. Here is the link to access the 2024 Seattle Public Safety Survey flyers in all 11 languages.
