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.

Responses collected 11 11 2024

Unlock		Surpassed expectations	They were cool, very understanding of the situation
Unlock		Below expectations	For the first time I called CSO for the unlock, I waited for an hour but did not see a CSO member coming. For the second time I called and they came in 10 mins.
Other Complaints or Comments (please specify)	Facilities issues	Surpassed expectations	Yall are great
Unlock		Met expectations
Medical Assist		Surpassed expectations	It was easy to contact Community Safety by phone and they arrived quickly. I let them know know on the phone there was someone in the canyon who had rolled their ankle and needed help, but I didn't think to ask for them to bring ice packs or more than one person to help them walk. But, they showed up with three people and with ice packs, so I felt comfortable leaving the injured person in their care. Thank you!
