How would you describe your political views?
What values are most important to you?
What do you think are your community’s major safety problems?
How safe do you feel in your community?
How would you assess your interactions with the police in your community?

Policing Questions:
How do you believe people in your community typically feel about how the police operate in your community?
How do you believe victims of crime are treated by the system?
How appropriately and effectively do the police relate to your community?
How do you think that our society in general views the police?

Crime Questions:
Which areas of your community have high crime potential or high crime activity?
Do you feel that schools in your community are safe?
Do you feel that children are safe on their way to school and playing in public areas?
Which members of your community seem most vulnerable to being crime victims?
Which persons in your community seem most likely to be problems for public safety?
How likely are you to report crime that you have witnessed to the police?
How do you feel about communicating with police officers about actual and potential crime?
