Thank you for visiting publicsafetysurvey.org. Through this website, Seattle University administers the citywide Seattle Public Safety Survey. The Seattle Public Safety Survey is part of the Seattle Police Department's Micro-Community Policing Plans. The purpose of the Seattle Public Safety Survey is to solicit feedback on public safety and security concerns from those who live and/or work in Seattle. A report on the survey results is provided to the Seattle Police Department to assist them with making your neighborhood safer and more secure. Information from these reports can be found on Seattle Police Department Micro-Community Policing Plans website. The survey is accessible on our homepage from October 15th through November 30th of each year and is available in Amharic, Arabic, Chinese, English, Korean, Oromo, Somali, Spanish, Tagalog, Tigrinya and Vietnamese. The survey is sponsored by the Seattle Police Department developed through support from the Community Oriented Policing Services and the Seattle Police Foundation.

As part of the SPD Micro-Community Policing Plans, MCPP Community-Police Dialogues are conducted May-August to provide opportunity to share and discuss the results of the annual Seattle Public Safety Survey and to share real-time neighborhood-based public safety concerns. In addition, MCPP "Before the Badge" Dialogues are held January-April and September-December to provide those who live and/or work in Seattle the opportunity to meet with and share neighborhood public safety concerns with Seattle Police recruits in the SPD "Before the Badge" Training program.
During the annual Seattle Public Safety Survey administration period October 15-November 30, you may notice interactive signs on objects around Seattle, asking people to have a friendly chat. Using Hello Lamp Post, an innovative engagement platform that makes public spaces interactive, the signs provide an opportunity to access and ask questions about the survey. To see where the interactive signs are located, see the Seattle map for the sign locations. To ask questions and access the survey here, see: Hello Seattle Online.
