Surveys

This section will include surveys previously published by the TCA.

Paragraph 241 of the “Agreement for the Sustainable Reform of the Puerto Rico Police Department” states:

"In order to assess PRPD’s overall compliance with and the effectiveness of this Agreement, the TCA shall conduct a reliable, comprehensive survey of members of the Puerto Rico community regarding their experiences with and perceptions of PRPD once during the first three years of this Agreement and annually thereafter. The community survey should be statistically valid, based on a sound methodology, and conducted by an independent entity. This community survey shall include measures to ensure input from individuals of each demographic category. The survey shall also assess the number and variety of community partnerships with PRPD and the depth and effectiveness of those partnerships. In particular, the survey shall: a) include interviews with a random sample of residents of Puerto Rico, PRPD officers, and detainees arrested by PRPD within the past week; b) ensure the anonymity of all interview participants; and c) survey participants regarding community-police relations; PRPD’s integrity, effectiveness, and service; and how it treats members of different demographic groups."
