Survey Code:

Murrysville Police Department- Please check (v ) the best answer.*

Yes
No
Does the Murrysville Police Department maintain a visible presence throughout the Murrysville Community?
Continued commercial and residential growth within the municipality is likely to strain current police resources. This could potentially impact both response times and police presence. As a member of the Murrysville community, does this possibility make you feel less secure?
Would you be willing to pay increased taxes to support additional police officers/resources?
Westmoreland County currently provides a county-wide police dispatch service. This cost is added into your phone bill. The Municipality of Murrysville is independent of this center and provides its own police dispatch services. Would you support eliminating the Murrysville Police Department Dispatch Center and joining the Westmoreland County 911 Dispatch Center?
