Four-in-five residents were 'Somewhat satisfied' or 'Very satisfied' with the service provided by the VPD. The reasons given for less satisfactory ratings were that residents had no contact with the VPD, or that the response was slow. Most residents said that the VPD is effective in responding to emergency situations quickly (61%), meeting the safety needs of the community (63%), and addressing street disorder (57%). There are many residents who seem to be uncertain of the VPD's performance in these areas, however. The proportion of residents who say they do not know how to rate the VPD has increased in recent years. District 2 residents were significantly less likely to give positive ratings to addressing street disorder (49%) compared to those in all three other Districts (58% for Districts 1, 3, and 4 combined). In looking at the year-over-year ratings, it is quite clear that the VPD's performance in two of these three areas is improving. The VPD's performance on 'addressing street disorder' has seen a substantial improvement since 2004. Performance on 'meeting the community's safety needs'improved significantly from 2008 to 2009.
