Read the First Hill Public Safety Survey Results
|
|
|
In September the First Hill Improvement Association engaged the First Hill resident, worker, and visitor community in an assessment of their public safety perceptions.
The purpose of this survey was to gauge public perceptions of neighborhood safety, identify concerning areas and behaviors in First Hill, to understand the communities relationship with law enforcement, and for use in advocating for improvements to public safety.
Over 160 responses were collected, representing a broad spectrum of First Hillers. Thanks to everyone who took the time to participate in this important survey.
You can read all the results here.
