Description

Although each iteration of the Anchorage Community Survey (ACS) has included some unique questions, they have all shared in common a set of core items measuring social cohesion and trust, informal social control, civic engagement, residents’ satisfaction with local government services, and residents’ evaluations of the Anchorage Police Department (APD). This article presents results for the last of these core community survey topics—residents’ evaluations of APD—using data from the most recent version of the ACS, which was fielded in 2009.
