City Council: Police Accountability Board survey

City Council recently surveyed hundreds of Rochester residents to gauge their thoughts on, understanding of, and ideas around the City’s Police Accountability Board (PAB). 

Conducted in late March, April, and early May, 2023, the survey served as a way for residents across the city to have their voices heard on issues relevant to the PAB, and garnered responses ranging from in-depth ideas on how to improve the Board to thoughts on how the City can better communicate the PAB’s purpose.
