The results are out and apparently the public doesn't have a very good opinion of the Guam Police Department.

A total of 877 residents took part in a survey to determine just how well of a job GPD is doing when it comes to protecting and serving the community. The survey was conducted over a three-month span beginning in March of this year.

"If you look at the survey and if you look at some of the topics and the information that we gathered you when the governor and lieutenant governor had their town hall meetings as well, one of the concerns was always the lack of police officers and the lack of police presence," Police Chief Steve Ignacio said.

Matter of fact, according to the survey results police visibility is low and the frequency of seeing police walking in the streets is even lower.

Although respondents had faith when contacting officers from the Tumon/ Tamuning and Agat precincts, those results didn't hold the same for residents in Dededo and Hagatna who were slightly less convinced of the effectiveness of calling GPD to solve major issues.

The results also indicate sentiment in the community that the police are generally biased in doing their job. They also had mixed views about the integrity and freedom from prejudice among the police.

Only 36 percent of those surveyed said they trusted the police.
As for crime, the top three concerns were theft, home invasion and sexual assault. <p id="breakId_SPECIAL_pdf-1576221769358_WILL_RENDER_HTML_"></p><span id="mce_marker" data-mce-type="bookmark">?</span>
