Seattle University has launched the annual Seattle Public Safety Survey, open from October 15 through November 30.
The survey invites feedback from people who live and/or work in Seattle about public safety and security concerns.
Survey results will be compiled into a report for the Seattle Police Department (SPD) to help identify neighborhood-level priorities and guide future policing strategies. Community-police dialogues will be held from May through August 2026 to discuss the findings.
The survey is part of SPD’s Micro-Community Policing Plans (MCPP) initiative, which aims to strengthen community engagement and improve collaboration between residents and police.
Residents are encouraged to complete the survey and share it with friends, family, and neighbors to ensure a wide range of voices are represented.
