Since October, Zencity has been working closely with the MPD to implement a cutting-edge "community perception survey." This initiative empowers residents of Minneapolis to contribute their thoughts, concerns, and feedback regarding public safety efforts and the performance of the police department. The survey is designed to provide real-time, honest, and objective insights that will be invaluable in shaping the future of community-police relations.
Residents don't need to search for the survey actively; instead, Zencity employs hyper-local targeting to deliver digital advertisements directly to electronic devices. This approach ensures that the voices of all Minneapolis residents, regardless of background or location, are heard. In just a few minutes, participants can provide valuable insights into their feelings of safety, concerns, and their perceptions of the police department.
The survey, available in multiple languages including English, Spanish, Hmong, Somali, Amharic, Oromo Lao, and Vietnamese, covers crucial aspects such as:
In alignment with the commitment to transparency and accountability, the city of Minneapolis will release survey results publicly every quarter. This ensures that residents are informed about the outcomes of their valuable contributions and that the MPD remains accountable for addressing community concerns.
We are honored to participate in this transformative initiative with the Minneapolis Police Department. By facilitating meaningful dialogue and leveraging technology to bridge gaps, we aspire to create a safer, more connected Minneapolis where community voices play a crucial role in shaping the future of public safety.
Together, we look forward to building a community-police partnership that is built on trust and transparency.
