Police Chief Harry Kubojiri is encouraging the public to participate in an anonymous community satisfaction survey for the Hawaii Police Department this month.
Kubojiri said previous surveys helped him identify actions the department could take to increase community satisfaction.
“This survey is one of the tools we use to improve our crucial partnership with the community by incorporating community feedback into our daily operations,” Kubojiri said in a written statement. “By comparing the results of this year’s survey with the results of past surveys, we can gauge where we have improved and where we need further improvement.”
In addition to multiple choice questions, the survey allows participants to make individual comments.
“I read every comment,” Kubojiri said. “The more specific the feedback is, the better this department can respond to the needs of our community.”
The Internet survey is open until 4 p.m. Thursday, March 31, at www.hawaiipolice.com. It takes about five minutes to complete and is limited to one survey per computer. The respondent’s IP address will not be stored in the survey results.
The responses will be collected and compiled by an outside source. After the survey period, results will be posted on the Police Department’s website.
