Survey Background

The Police-Community Interaction Survey is a sophisticated “satisfaction survey” developed as part of the National Police Research Platform that allows the public to evaluate recent interactions with local police. The goals of the Police-Community Interaction Survey are to enhance professionalism and strengthen public trust in police by serving as a transparent mechanism for community input. Police-Community Interaction Survey data can be used to generate measured benchmarks for excellence in policing and to understand the factors affecting police-community interactions.
