Police and Community Relations Survey

In the wake of nationwide demonstrations for racial justice prompted by the murders of Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, George Floyd, and countless other Black individuals, Los Angeles became a focal point for critical discussions around police and community relations.

StudyLA's Police and Community Relations Survey is a three-part study that measures public opinion on issues of policing and gauges how residents feel the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) is doing with respect to its mission: safeguard the lives and property of the people the LAPD serves, reduce the incidence and fear of crime, and enhance public safety while working with the diverse communities to improve quality of life.
