Louisville Metro Police Department launches Blockwise survey

The Louisville Metro Police Department (LMPD) recently announced the launch of Blockwise, Zencity's always-on trust and safety survey, aimed at better understanding community concerns and enhancing public safety. LMPD recognizes the crucial importance of strengthening communication and building trust between law enforcement and the public, particularly in today’s complex social landscape.

By leveraging Zencity's Blockwise survey, the Louisville Metro Police Department is actively engaging with community members, providing them with a meaningful platform for open dialogue. This survey is not just about gathering data; it's about fostering a continuous conversation that promotes transparency, accountability, and mutual understanding. The initiative aims to establish a solid foundation for a safer, more secure future by ensuring that the voices of the community are heard and acted upon.

"We understand that the work we're doing to build relationships within the community cannot reach everyone on a one-on-one basis," said LMPD Deputy Chief Sgt. Paul Humphrey. "When there are issues related to certain crimes or social concerns that affect trust in the police, we need to know about them so we can make the necessary adjustments."

At Zencity, we firmly believe that building trust and fostering communication between law enforcement and the public is essential to creating safer communities. We are thrilled to partner with the Louisville Metro Police Department in this significant effort and commend them for their proactive approach to improving community relations. We look forward to continuing our work together to promote positive change and build stronger, more united communities for all.
