The National Police Services Survey (The NPSS) helps strengthen community relationships, aligns resident and government priorities and increases community safety.
The National Police Services Survey™ (The NPSS™), a premier enterprise of Polco/National Research Center, Inc. (NRC), provides a comprehensive and accurate picture of resident opinions related to community police services. The NPSS uses best practices in survey methods to guarantee valid findings and puts your results into meaningful context. Drawing from a large database, The NPSS compares your local results with benchmarks compiled from a national survey panel.
