Partnership with Zencity will use ongoing surveys to better understand
local concerns, priorities, and trust in public safety officers:
 
San Leandro, CA — The San Leandro Police Department is launching a new public survey tool to better understand local concerns, attitudes, and trust in their local police officers. The survey will appear to local residents on their mobile devices. The tool will enable the Department to more holistically understand local neighborhood safety issues and enhance their responsiveness to community priorities.
 
This is the latest effort by the San Leandro Police Department to launch public safety and community outreach initiatives.
 
“We are always striving to get input from residents, and this partnership with Zencity will be a great step toward really understanding the needs and concerns of our residents to make the best decisions for the future of our San Leandro” said San Leandro Police.
 
A data-driven understanding of community sentiment and priorities give us a roadmap for constant improvement as we build a safer, fairer San Leandro.
 
“We have used surveys before, but Zencity has a much broader, more representative reach into our communities by putting the survey on the apps that people use most," said San Leandro Police.
 
“I applaud forward-thinking leaders who understand that effective public safety in 2022 requires building trust with the community they serve as part of an overall effort to reduce crime,” said Eyal Feder-Levy, CEO of Zencity. “
 
Zencity is proud to support the critical work the San Leandro Police Department is doing to understand and prioritize the needs of residents.
 
The launch of the new public safety survey is in partnership with Zencity, the community input platform used by local governments to hear from more residents and get meaningful and actionable insights. Zencity works with hundreds of municipalities across the U.S., including Chicago, Phoenix, Seattle, and San Diego, on issues ranging from public safety to American Rescue Plan Act implementation.
 
Beginning October 1st, 2022, the survey will gather responses from residents in English and Spanish (Chinese forthcoming). The survey will appear to residents through the use of digital ads in various locations such as social media platforms. Based on responses, the survey will measure resident satisfaction regarding residents’ feeling of safety and trust in police while also identifying key concerns residents want the city to address.
 
In addition, residents can find and respond to the survey via the attached and pictured QR codes.
 
In keeping with the Department’s commitment to transparency and accountability, the survey results will be shared with the public as they become available.
 
Survey Methodology:
 
Zencity’s community surveys incorporate voices from every corner of the community. To do so, Zencity sets response targets based on U.S. Census data about the municipality. Zencity ensures the security and privacy of its data and survey respondents. Survey responses are anonymous unless a respondent chooses to share their email address for follow-up purposes. Regardless, survey responses are kept confidential. Zencity does not collect a respondent’s name, address, or any other personally-identifying information. Zencity’s weighting accounts for the responses of every single person who answered a question. The responses give a proportional voice to all demographics (e.g., by age, sex, race, education level, and income level) based on the makeup of the municipality.
