How to Participate

All who live and/or work in Seattle are invited to participate in this annual survey. The survey measures top public safety concerns and community perceptions for Seattle and the Seattle Police Department’s Five Precincts and Micro-Communities.

The survey is offered in Amharic, Arabic, Chinese, English, Korean, Oromo, Somali, Spanish, Tagalog, Tigrinya, Vietnamese and English.

When it opens on October 15, the survey link will be provided here.

All who live and/or work in Seattle are eligible to participate in conversations between Seattle community members and Seattle Police Department personnel to discuss the most recent Seattle Public Safety Survey results and real-time concerns about crime and public safety and security at the micro-community (neighborhood) level.

These conversations are conducted between May and August.

Registration is now open online.

The dialogues are conducted by the SPD Micro-Community Policing Plans Research team and held virtually via Zoom on designated dates by precinct. The dialogues offer the opportunity for community members to meet with and engage in conversation with new Seattle Police Recruits who are completing the SPD "Before the Badge" training that newly hired SPD recruits take prior to the Washington State  Basic Law Enforcement Academy.

When registration is open, the link will be provided here.
