Warren Community Pulse Survey
We are listening
What Warren residents told us about public safety, communication, and police community trust.
The Warren Community Pulse Survey gathered anonymous input from participating Warren residents about public safety, communication, trust, and future priorities. The City is sharing key findings through PCTI so residents can see what was heard.

A Careful Read on Trust
Respondents were divided on whether Warren is moving in the right direction on police community trust. 30% agreed, 41% disagreed, and 29% were neutral.
This is not a majority confidence finding. It should be treated as a baseline for continued work.
What Happens Next
The survey does not end the conversation. It gives the City clearer direction on what participating residents want to see, hear, and understand moving forward.
The City will use this feedback to support continued communication around:
- Public safety updates
- Police community engagement efforts
- Public safety initiatives and progress
- Resident concerns and questions
- Future trust building communication
Thank you to the Warren residents who shared input. Your feedback helps the City better understand resident concerns, communication needs, and trust building priorities.
