Deadline Approaching for Peekskill Community Survey

Monday (Jan. 20) is the last chance for local folks to complete the online Peekskill Community Survey on Crime and Public Safety, according to this post by Kelli Henry, Ph.D, the principal investigator of the study.

The survey is available here on the city's website. It is offered in English and Spanish, and organizers say it takes about 15 minutes to complete.

Survey takers are asked to rate their sense of security at different locations across the downtown area, including parking garages, parks and shopping centers, during the day and at night. One question asks how often any of the following is observed: abandoned cars, abandoned buildings or lots, dog fighting, homeless people sleeping outside, overcrowding, panhandling or begging, youth congregation on the sidewalk, and more.
