Residents expressed differing views on various aspects of police work, including how well the department addresses crime and engages with the community. Some respondents voiced concerns about the level of trust they have in the police, while others highlighted positive interactions and improvements in certain areas.

Key Findings

  • Many residents feel that the police are not adequately addressing crime in their neighborhoods.
