Dear (Stakeholder),

The Town of Hartford is conducting a Community Safety Assessment to understand and enhance people’s safety within our vibrant community. The project’s consulting partner, Strategy Matters and its committee of Hartford residents is gathering information to answer these questions: How safe do people feel in Hartford? What contributes to that feeling of safety or lack of safety? 

The Community Safety Assessment is intended to help Hartford learn more about the sense of safety of people of all backgrounds and experiences and how their sense of safety is linked to the delivery of public services (police and fire departments, emergency medical services, nonprofits, and social services agencies). This project is an important step towards fostering a safe, welcoming, and inclusive environment for everyone who lives in, works in, or visits Hartford.

We hope you’ll complete the Community Safety Assessment Survey, one of the Assessment’s primary data gathering methods, and share it widely with your networks. The survey will be open until the end of June.

Survey results will be collected by Strategy Matters, and they will only be shared in the aggregate. The survey can be taken anonymously and all questions are optional. Strategy Matters will share a public report in the Fall with an analysis of what they learned.

Whether you are a long-time resident, a new member of our community, a local business owner, or a visitor, your voice matters. By sharing your experiences, you contribute to a collective effort to ensure Hartford is a thriving, safe community for all.

Thank you for your participation and help in ensuring that all of Hartford’s voices are heard in this process.
