The Atlanta Police Department is asking people who live and work in Atlanta to provide their thoughts on police reform and public safety in the city.

The agency unveiled a new online survey this week for residents and those who work in the city of Atlanta to give input on reform and safety efforts.

The survey is part of a broader police reform initiative in the city. In the last year, Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms has issued a number of administrative and executive orders aimed at improving APD’s use-of-force policies, and the city launched a website dedicated to local justice reform. In November, Bottoms announced an outside firm would conduct a top-to-bottom review of APD’s training and policies.

The survey includes questions about APD’s community policing and reform efforts, where the city can make investments to reduce crime and residents’ perceptions about police. The city has already conducted interviews with community leaders and APD officers that helped guide the survey.

The survey can be found at www.surveymonkey.com/r/ATLPoliceReform.
