CS Survey Responses:

Every week Community Safety requests survey responses from those who've had interactions with a member of the Community Safety team. These responses are always collected anonymously with the option for the responder to leave contact information if they would like for a member of Community Safety management to contact them, and are used internally for departmental performance tracking. Community Safety has opted to publish these survey results for transparency and community accountability. *Names and pronouns mentioned in survey responses will be redacted to protect the privacy of individuals.

In addition to surveys sent directly to those who have interacted with Community Safety, the Reed community is always encouraged to independently complete the survey regarding Community Safety's performance.

Unlock		Surpassed expectations
Unlock		Surpassed expectations	The CSO was incredibly prompt -- actually got to my building before I did, kind, patient, and professional. I am sorry that I have forgotten (Redacted) name.
Unlock		Surpassed expectations
Unlock		Met expectations	Fast
Unlock		Surpassed expectations	Did an excellent job on getting over really quickly. I had a class to go to after getting my stuff from my room, so this was awesome!
Unlock		Surpassed expectations
Medical Assist		Met expectations
Unlock		Met expectations
Unlock		Surpassed expectations
Medical Assist		Met expectations	They were very helpful and encouraged my friend to go to the hospital. I appreciate them setting up a cab, but I did not appreciate that the return to Reed cab cost would be deducted from my student account if I had called - we ended up getting a ride share, which was probably cheaper and we could track how close it was to arriving But CSO’s did a great job!
Medical Assist		Below expectations	The CSO was so so sweet and I couldn't have asked for a more kind person, but the fact that (Redacted) was not trained how to use an epipen was a bit concerning. This is no fault of (Redacted) own, but all the CSOs need to be trained in how to do that, because when someone can't breathe, they cannot wait for them to figure it out.
Vehicle Assist		Surpassed expectations	The CSOs were very kind and helpful during a stressful situation. Thank you!
Medical Assist		Met expectations	You guys should carry finger braces, they're handy and don't take up much space! Also, shoutout to (Redacted), (Redacted) super chill.
