A recent survey out of Poughkeepsie examined how residents felt about a variety of issues impacting the city.

A total of 3,000 surveys were mailed out to people living across the eight wards of Poughkeepsie.

The city asked people 12 questions ranging from how people felt about crime in the area, to how they felt about police-community relations.

Despite reminder postcards and a second delivery to the least responsive areas, less than 400 were returned.

Across the eight wards, 65 percent said they felt safe in their neighborhoods, while 11 percent said theirs was dangerous.

However, 41 percent said they stay inside at night due to concerns for their safety, while 38 percent said they almost never do.

Then, 20 percent of people asked said the city as a whole was safe, while 38 percent said the city was dangerous.

On the subject of police relations, 46 percent of Poughkeepsie residents agreed police were responsive to community concerns, while 23 percent disagreed.

But when asked whether they believed police used community input to develop solutions to community issues, the city was split. A total of 38 percent sad yes, while 31 percent said they don't or rarely do.

Still, 87 percent who participated in the survey said they would call Poughkeepsie PD to report a crime, while just nine percent said they might not.
