5. LAPD SURVEY
The Los Angeles Police Department wants to hear from you. The City of Los Angeles has initiated an anonymous survey seeking input from communities about your experiences with LAPD, your attitudes toward service levels, and any opportunities for improvement.
This survey is designed to supplement meetings that are currently being held with neighborhood council alliances and community police advisory boards. Please take the time to complete the questionnaire so that your feedback can be included in the study. The survey is anonymous, and individual responses will never be shared with LAPD, the City of Los Angeles, or anyone outside of the project team. The responses will be tabulated and a summary of findings will be presented.
