Guilford Police Ask 'How Are We Doing?' In Online Resident Survey

GUILFORD, CT — Called the Guilford Police Citizen Satisfaction Survey, the questionnaire goes out to residents every two years.

Police said the goal is to see how folks feel about the department's overall performance, police officer performance and to "measure citizens’ perception of officers’ attitudes and behaviors." It also gauges citizen concerns for safety and lets people make suggestions for improvement.

The 20 question survey, with several of the questions optional, asks about things like people's interaction with officers, if folks feel safe in their neighborhood, if the Guilford Police Facebook page is helpful, and if police do a good job getting important information out, among other questions with answer options of 'yes,' 'no,' 'agree,' 'disagree' and the like.

Take the survey from Sept. 4 to Sept. 24 here.

"The Guilford Police Department values the opinions of those we serve and we welcome any input you can provide that may help us to improve as an organization. Your participation in this survey will help us better understand the needs of our community and to identify areas for potential improvement. We would appreciate you just taking a few minutes to complete the survey. Please make sure your opinion is heard by participating in the survey..."
