Dumas Police Department invites you to take this “Community Survey on Public Safety and Law Enforcement.” It will take approximately five minutes of your time and is completely confidential. Your participation will help Dumas PD to improve its services, processes, and reputation.
The survey is designed for a law enforcement agency like Dumas PD to gather opinions and experiences from members of its community. The survey assesses five key components that involve your police department:
*Community involvement
*Safety
*Procedural justice
*Performance
*Contact and Satisfaction
You may come into contact with multiple law enforcement agencies, but please answer questions thinking only about Dumas Police Department. The term “law enforcement agency” is used throughout the survey to refer specifically to your Dumas Police Department, the local agency that has invited you our citizens to participate.
Please indicate your response to each item by selecting the appropriate answer based on your feelings, opinions, and experiences. This is not a test, and there are no right or wrong answers. Please answer each question honestly.
The “Dumas Police Department Community Survey” was developed by the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS Office) with the support of ICF International and law enforcement experts
