Hartford, Vermont Community Safety Survey

We all deserve to live in a community where we feel safe and secure. Yet, what makes a community feel safe can be different for different people. It's not just about the absence of crime, but also about feeling supported, respected, and able to thrive in our neighborhoods.

In this survey, we're exploring the broad concept of community safety and what it means to you. Whether it's about street lighting, police presence, access to healthcare, or fostering strong social connections. All of these things matter when considering whether and to what extent your community feels safe to you.

The following questions will ask about your experiences and hopes related to community safety and wellbeing understood in this broad way. By offering your perspective, you're contributing to a collective effort to create safer and more inclusive communities where everyone can live without fear and with the opportunity to flourish.
