This survey is for current residents, business owners and/or workers in the city of Mt. Vernon, NY, from February 21, 2022 to March 7, 2022.

In October 2020, Mayor Shawyn Patterson-Howard formed the Mt. Vernon Police Reform Commission ( MVPRC ) under NY Gov. Cuomo’s Executive Order No. 203. One of the recommendations of that commission was to have an annual citizen-directed survey, that was drafted by MVPRC members, to gauge the City’s perspective on law enforcement. It will be used as a tool to assess where improvements are needed with police and community relations and to compare against other year's perceptions. Data is compiled and presented by volunteer citizens in the community.

Thank you in advance for your honest participation in the Mt. Vernon Police Reform Commission survey!
