A message from Rachel Deckard, Department of Criminal Justice, Seattle University, Master of Arts in Criminal Justice, Investigative Criminology, rdeckard@seattleu.edu

Thank you to all who participated in the 2020 Seattle Public Safety Survey. We received a record number of responses to the survey this year. For 2021, as part of the Seattle Police Department's Micro-Community Policing Plans (MCPP) collaboration with Seattle University, the Seattle University MCPP research team will hold virtual community-police dialogues to provide opportunity for those who live and/or work in Seattle to engage in dialogue with Seattle Police personnel about the survey results and micro-community (neighborhood) concerns about public safety.

Three community-police dialogues will be held in each of the five police precincts - East, North, South, Southwest, and West (a total of 15 dialogues) on designated Thursday Nights 5:30-7:30pm via Zoom video conferencing from mid-May through August 2021.

If you live and/or work in Seattle and are interested in participating in one of the upcoming community-police dialogues, go to https://publicsafetysurvey.org/index.html
