Newburyport Police Department Citizen Survey 2025
The Newburyport Police Department is committed to engagement with our community through listening, communication, and relationship building.  This community survey is designed as a tool to help assess public perception, identify community needs, and guide policy.  The Newburyport Police Department is currently working to develop a new mission and vision statement that resonates with stakeholders, driving forward the police department and community together.  The survey is completed anonymously and the police department is not collecting any identifying information.  If you would prefer to fill out a paper copy, it can be downloaded from our website or picked up at the police station.  Thank you for taking the time to provide your input and feedback. - City Marshal Matthew Simons
