INDIANAPOLIS — What public safety changes would you like to see in Indianapolis? Mayor Joe Hogset says he wants to know and he wants you to complete a survey.
“Earlier this summer, thousands of residents made their voices heard through peaceful protests throughout our city,” said Hogsett. “I encourage those who protested, and any resident interested in improving our city, to take part in this survey as we reimagine public safety in Indianapolis.”
The goal is to "create a new definition of justice that represents equitable and fair enforcement of the law and fosters safer neighborhoods," according to the mayor. The survey is part of the administration’s partnership with the New York University School of Law Criminal Justice Lab, announced on June 15.
“At its best, government channels the will of the people to make positive change,” said City-County Council President Vop Osili. “This survey provides an opportunity for residents to spell out their expectations for public safety in the community and make a difference for the future of the city.”
You can find the survey by going to indy.gov/publicsafetysurvey [indy.gov]. It is hosted by Community Solutions, Inc., an Indianapolis-based firm that is providing coordination throughout the process.
The survey will be open until August 31 and individual answers will remain confidential.
