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.

Escort		Surpassed expectations	I LOVE (REDACTED)! Awesome (redacted) with an amazing heart, genuinely made me feel safe.
Unlock		Below expectations	I called for an unlock at Woodstock facing staff entrance to the library. I saw the CS vehicle approach me slowly and pass me by. I started walking quickly to catch up to the vehicle. They stopped just before Eliot Circle. Somebody got out of the car. I waved. They waved back, got in the car and left. Rather than call CS again, I called the circulation desk to open the door for me. All in all a weird situation.
