The Police Department is providing information regarding use of My90 on a trial basis to solicit customer service feedback from community members. My90 is an integrated automated Axon survey that sends electronic surveys to people within 24-48 hours after having an interaction with the Police Department. Respondents answer questions about the service they received (positive, neutral, or negative). The information is anonymously collected and sent back to the department as feedback. This will allow us to gather customer service and service delivery feedback. We will use My90 on a trial basis from approximately June - August 2023. Other My90 components (employee surveys, outreach landing page, etc.) likely would not be evaluated during this trial but are available for future use. There is no cost for this trail. If purchased, My90 is estimated to cost $1,500 per year
