Description

In the wake of nationwide demonstrations for racial justice prompted by the murders of Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, George Floyd, and countless other Black individuals, Los Angeles became a focal point for critical discussions around police and community relations.

StudyLA’s 2022 Police and Community Relations Survey is the second of a three-part study, with the first survey conducted in mid-to-late 2020 and the last planned for 2023. It continues to measure public opinion on issues of policing and gauge how residents feel the Los Angeles Police Department is doing with respect to its mission (safeguard the lives and property of the people the LAPD serves, reduce incidence and fear of crime, and enhance public safety while working with diverse communities to improve the quality of life).
