Athens-Clarke Police to Begin Citizens Survey

Submitted by Athens-Clarke Police

The Athens-Clarke County Police Department (ACCPD) is committed to continual improvement in its service delivery as it seeks to form partnerships with law abiding persons that result in every neighborhood being safer as residents enjoy a higher quality of life.

At all times our vision remains to eliminate crime, the fear of crime, and general disorder in our communities. To accomplish these goals, community feedback is critical as to allow for the maintenance of the services provided by our personnel.

To this end, The Carl Vinson Institute at The University of Georgia is assisting the Athens-Clarke County Police Department in its tri-annual survey of citizens’ opinions about the police department and its services.

Potential participants, drawn from households located within Athens-Clarke County, will be contacted via telephone. Individual responses shall be kept strictly confidential by The Carl Vinson Institute, and only aggregate reports will be forwarded by The Carl Vinson Institute to criminal justice stakeholders.

Participation is strictly voluntary and at no point in time will callers be asked to provide any in-depth personal financial information and/or to provide any form of financial support.

Should citizens have any questions concerning the survey, please feel free to call the ACCPD’s Public Information Assistant Hilda Sorrow at 706.613.3330 extension 248.
