Please Take Our Survey
Each year the Riverwoods Police Department conducts a Citizen Survey. Information from the survey will not only help us to determine how the department is performing, but it also provides worthwhile suggestions for improving our services to the community and to assist with setting goals for the future.
We understand that your contact with us may be very limited. Even if you have not had any contact with us, your perceptions and opinions are very important.
Please take a few moments to fill out our survey. Help us prioritize our tasks by telling us how important you believe the tasks are to the community. If you wish to make additional comments, observations, recommendations, or suggestions to improve our services, feel free to write them on the survey. You may remain anonymous, but if you would like to be contacted in reference to a specific concern, please include your name and a daytime telephone number. I will personally review all of the responses. Results will be published in the next Village Voice and on the Village website at www.riverwoods-il.net.
If you fill the survey out by hand, please return it to the Riverwoods Police Department, 845 Saunders Road, at your earliest convenience. Your participation is greatly appreciated.
Sincerely
Bruce Dayno
Chief of Police
