CITY’S 2015 PUBLIC SAFETY SURVEY


THE CITY’S

2015 PUBLIC SAFETY SURVEY
At the request of and in cooperation with the City Fire & Police Commission, in 2014, the
Center for Urban Initiatives and Research (CUIR) conducted the City Police Satisfaction
Survey. The purpose of this survey was to measure resident perceptions regarding a range
of issues relevant to the Police Department; satisfaction with and trust in the police,
perceptions of safety and police visibility, views on various kinds of police contacts, and
exposure to crime. The survey was structured to provide estimates of both city-wide
opinion as well as estimates of opinion within each police district.
This RDD telephone survey was conducted by CUIR Survey Center staff from July 17th
through August 23rd. Surveys were conducted in both English and Spanish. Of the 1,452
completed interviews, 729 (46.2%) were over landlines, while 781 (53.8%) were over
mobile lines. The margin of error for unweighted sample statistics is ±2.6% at the 95%
confidence level.
