CS Survey Responses:

Every week Community Safety requests survey responses from those who've had interactions with a member of the Community Safety team. These responses are always collected anonymously with the option for the responder to leave contact information if they would like for a member of Community Safety management to contact them, and are used internally for departmental performance tracking. Community Safety has opted to publish these survey results for transparency and community accountability. *Names and pronouns mentioned in survey responses will be redacted to protect the privacy of individuals.

In addition to surveys sent directly to those who have interacted with Community Safety, the Reed community is always encouraged to independently complete the survey regarding Community Safety's performance.

Unlock		Met expectations
Escort		Met expectations
Medical Assist		Met expectations	i was close to passing out due to a medically induced anxiety attack when my friends called the cso's for me. in my situation, i think what would have been most helpful in that moment would have been one of the fruit snacks that the owls carry around just because blood sugar and it would have been grounding to just focus on having a small snack. also some bandaids would have been nice just to cover up my injury so i didnt get freaked out looking at it. the bandaids would have been for psychological purposes, not for any medical necessity. the cso was very kind though and i appreciated the visit!
