Citizen Survey

The 2024-2025 Biennial Citizen Survey is closed. Thank you to those who responded to the survey. 

The Crime Prevention/Community Engagement Section is responsible for conducting a biennial survey of citizens' attitudes toward, and opinions of, the Bismarck Police Department.

The survey is conducted to determine citizen attitudes and opinion of department, safety and security concerns, and suggestions for improvement. The input received from this survey will be used when amending or adopting police community relations policies and procedures and for performance improvement and strategic planning.

You must be 18 years old or older to take the survey. 
 
There are twelve questions on the survey. How much time you spend on this survey is up to you. At the minimum it will take about ten minutes. There are several open ended questions asking for your opinions on several topics. You can give us as few or many opinions as you want.

You will be given the option to sign in or create an account.  This is not mandatory but may be useful if you decide to take more time to answer the open ended questions.  This will give you the ability to save your answers up to that point.

The 2025 Citizen Survey is open through September. Thank you to all who are willing to take the survey.
