PURCELLVILLE POLICE COMMUNITY FEEDBACK SURVEY
PURCELLVILLE, Va. November 9, 2023 — The Purcellville Police Department is conducting a survey open to all Town of Purcellville residents, as well as business owners and their employees. The purpose of the community survey is to solicit feedback from residents and businesses about safety and quality of life issues, as well as opinions about the department’s effectiveness of law enforcement services provided to the Town of Purcellville. We are asking members of the community for five minutes of their time to complete the survey to help us gain perspective on what we are doing well, where we can improve, and what concerns they may have. The results will be utilized to enhance policing services, and to direct the department as we strive to provide the most responsive, cost efficient, and professional police services possible.
The survey is available online via survey monkey at www.surveymonkey.com/r/PPDSurvey2023, accessible via the Town of Purcellville website (www.purcellvilleva.gov), or utilizing the QR code below. A notice for the survey will also be included in the Town of Purcellville Newsletter, “Purcellville Post,” located within the upcoming December water/sewer bill for town residents. In addition, officers will have copies of the QR code available to scan during their foot patrols, business checks, and Purcellville Police Department community-related events.
Town residents, business owners, and their employees are requested to complete the survey online by Friday, December 15, 2023, to be counted in the results.
The Purcellville Police Department would like to thank you in advance for your participation in this survey and we look forward to sharing the results upon completion and analyzation. Your engagement is greatly appreciated.
