3. Approval of January 27, 2021 minutes
4. Review of proposed survey questions
The committee received an email from Steve with questions. It was suggested that we
may have to change the format. Steve made it clear that the document he shared with
the Research Committee was a working document and gave an update. Steve shared
that he sent the document to the co-chairs and stated that he will contact them asking
them not to share any information. The research committee previously voted not to
share any questions at this point. He added that the report coming out in October was
the reason he shared the information.
The committee discussed the document Steve prepared and how to conduct the
survey. Dr. Blanks asked what were the overall goals of the survey since the answer to
this question will drive the direction of the survey The Chair stated that Steve
suggested in a previous meeting that we don’t want a long survey.

COMMISSION - COMMUNITY
SURVEY & RESEARCH COMMITTEE
Pamela Malone stated that one possible goal could be the attitudes of the community
towards police. Steve suggested multiple surveys.
5. Discussion of methods of administering survey
The discussion moved to methods of administering the survey. The population to be
interviewed was discussed. Paul stated that we should concentrate on Blacks given
the statistics on involvement wit police Pam raised the issue of whether the Chauvin
trial and other recent events would impact responses. Given the history of Blacks and
police events, it was suggested that it may not have a significant impact.
Dr. Blanks suggested conducting one survey for every racial group so we can make
relevant comparisons between various groups in terms of age and other demographic
factors or possible an initial survey and one done at a later date for comparison. The
Chair agreed with Dr. Blanks that we should do both a quantitative and qualitative
analysis and stated that we do not want too many open-ended questions. Steve agreed
that one survey with different categories of questions.
Paul wants to reorganize the in-progress document created by Steve and Steve agreed
to give access to reorganize or add questions. Steve also agreed to help with the
reorganization process.
A discussion ensued about the sample size and whether the respondents needed to
be random. The committee agreed that the sample size should be more than 1,000
but less than 1,500 respondents. Dr. Blacks made solid arguments that the survey
does not have to be completely random. We also discussed that the survey needs to
be written in different languages to accommodate the populations to be surveyed. It
was suggested that Jeff Roman, Tammy Rivera, Fred Royal should be contacted for
input as well as Damien and Jamal for assistance in reaching people to be surveyed.
6. Discussion of population to receive survey
Discussed under item #5.
7. Discussion of proposed budget for survey
8. Adjournment
It was moved and seconded that that the meeting be adjourned at approximately 2pm.
Respectfully submitted,
Pamela Malone, Chair, Survey and Research Committee
