SURVEY: Seeking your feedback on public safety

| Crime | Safety | West Seattle news

If you haven’t yet responded to the annual Seattle Public Safety Survey, you have until the end of the month. This is the 10th annual survey, which is administered by Seattle University, with results provided (anonymously) to Seattle Police “to help them better understand your neighborhood’s safety and security concerns … (then) community-police dialogues will be held in May-August 2025 to provide opportunity for police-community engagement about the results.” These are part of SPD’s Micro-Community Policing Plan program, but you can participate whether your neighborhood has an MCPP or not – just answer the survey by November 30. It’s available in Amharic, Arabic, Chinese, English, Korean, Oromo, Somali, Spanish, Tagalog, Tigrinya, and Vietnamese, all via this link.

P.S. Here are the results of last year’s survey.

How were last year’s results used to….change or improve anything? Tons of comparative data, neighborhood by neighborhood, showing numbers and graphs, that improved public safety…. how? Was a single life saved from this? Was a single pedestrian crosswalk put in from this? Or was/is the cost of this little public input and regurgitate project really wasted on nothingness when all the time and money spent on this probably would have been better spent on one or two more officers?

Shortage of police is not because of shortage of money. They have plenty of money for new hires, just waiting,

To add to what WSB said if you watch the evening news like I do you’ll see that LOTS of cities and counties are short of officers. Conservative “red” cities and counties are having just as many officer shortages as “liberal blue” cities and counties.

Sorry, comment time is over.
