Portland Police Department Community Survey 2019 1 Portland Police Department 2019 Community Survey Results Thomas Chalmers McLaughlin University of New England School of Social Work Portland, Maine June 2019 Contact information [email protected] telephone 207-221-4511 2 Executive Summary Survey overview Data was collected from 809 residents in the City of Portland through an online survey tool. A 40 item survey collected data on items such as police/community relations, community policing projects, crime and perception of crime. Data was also collected by neighborhood. All Portland neighborhoods were represented in the survey. Police/community relations Analysis of the data suggests the Portland Police Department relationship with the community is good to very good. Seventy one percent of respondents rated police community relations throughout Portland as good to very good. In neighborhoods where the police calls for service was higher, respondents rated the police community relationship higher. With respect to specific neighborhood concerns, respondents suggested the police are doing a good to very good job at addressing specific neighborhood concerns. Sixty two percent reported the police were doing a good to very good job at addressing neighborhood public safety concerns. When analyzed by individual neighborhoods, the results were similar. Neighborhood safety Generally, residents in all of the neighborhoods feel safe in their homes and in walking alone in the neighborhood during the day. In the evening, 72 percent reported feeling safe walking in their neighborhood most of the time. Perception of crime Overall, respondents reported shootings, domestic violence, robbery and assault as minor problems in their neighborhoods. Eighty one percent of respondents reported shootings to not be a problem citywide. Forty percent of respondents reported domestic violence as not a problem and 52 percent of respondents reported assaults as not a problem within the city. In the case of robbery, 54 percent of respondents reported robbery as a minor problem within the city. Issues which were reported as a major problem Conversely, crimes such as illegal drugs and vehicle break-ins were reported as a major problem. For vehicle break ins the neighborhoods of Bayside, 37%, Munjoy Hill and East Bayside, 21%, Sagamore/Rosemont/Deering Center, 31% and Parkside, 27%. Illegal drugs were reported as a major problem in Bayside, 78%; Parkside, 52% and West End, 62%. This data is consistent with police calls for service data which highlight these neighborhoods as locations with higher rates of calls for service for the crime of vehicle break-ins. Community Policing Officer/Community coordinator/Beat officers identification The data suggests a majority of city residents, have never heard of any of these programs or are familiar with their beat officers When analyzed by neighborhood, even neighborhoods where there are higher rates of crime, Bayside, Parkside and Munjoy Hill and East Bayside, a majority of respondents reported not knowing who their community policing officers is or the community coordinator. The data suggests respondents, even by neighborhood, reported being unfamiliar with their beat officers. 3 Project overview This analysis is based on a community survey of issues relating to crime and public order within the City of Portland. The Portland Police Department had conducted a community survey in 2013 and this is a follow up survey with the same questions as well as some additional questions based on changes in crime and policing within Portland in 2019. Police Department staff developed a 40 item survey which assesses the community attitudes toward crime, public safety, a limited assessment of community policing activities and overall satisfaction with the Portland Police Department. Researchers at the University of New England, School of Social Work, added several questions including questions related to community demographics and a segmenting of city neighborhoods for analysis. Questions were piloted with Police Department staff and then translated into an electronic survey for data collection. The City of Portland issued a press release in February 2019 which provided a web link to the community survey. The survey was also translated into Arabic, French, Portuguese and Spanish. Additionally, the link was also listed on the Portland Police Department website and Facebook page. Over the course of 6 weeks, 809 responses were collected from the community. Given this, the response rate suggests validity to the sample with generalization to the larger population of the city. Demographic results Demographic results suggest the average age of survey respondents is 6 years older than in 2013. The average age for respondents in 2019 was 44 compared to 38 in 2013. Additionally, the number of respondents who have children under the age of 18 increased 8% from 19.8% to 27.8%. The average age of participants as well as the number percentage of families with children under 18 is higher than the most recent US Census data. Table 1: Survey demographics 4 2013 Survey demographics 2019 Survey demographics 2010 Census data Average age-38 Average age-44 Average age-36 Percent of respondents with Percent of the population Percent of the population children living in the home under the age of 18-27.8% under the age of 18-11.7% under the age of 18-19.8% Fifty 58 percent of the survey respondents reported living in the City of Portland for more than 11 years, including 37 percent of respondents who have lived in the city of Portland for more than 20 years. Less than 15 percent of respondents reported owning a business in Portland. The responses are widely dispersed throughout the city of Portland. Respondents also suggested long periods of time living within their identified neighborhood. Thirty-one percent reported living in their neighborhood more than 10 years. Fifty percent reported living in their neighborhoods for between 2 and 10 years. As table 1 suggests, the average age of survey respondents is 44 with a majority of the participants between the ages of 35 and 64. Table 2: Age of respondents with comparison to the 2013 responses 2013 Respondents Percent 2019 Respondents Percent what is your age? What is your age? 18 to 24 4.3% 18 to 24 2.9% 25 to 34 22.0% 25 to 34 19.2% 35 to 44 21.6% 35 to 44 18.1% 45 to 54 20.1% 45 to 54 19.2% 55 to 64 19.8% 55 to 64 18.7% 65 to 74 9.6% 65 to 74 16.9% Over 75 2.6% Over 75 5.1% Demographic data suggests 27 percent of the respondents had school aged children living with them. Of those who reported having school aged children at home, 7.7% reported their children were in grades Kindergarten through 5th grade; 4.3% reported children in grades 6-8 and 5.7% of 5 respondents reported having children in high school. Additionally, 7.8% of respondents reported having children at home that were too young to attend school. Finally, 2.3% of the respondents reported having children living with them who were not attending school. Of the respondents who completed the survey, only 5 percent reported completing the survey in 2013. Beat area analysis Respondents were asked to identify the neighborhoods where they lived. Through the neighborhood identification, the researchers were able to isolate responses based on neighborhoods and respondents perception of crime, police relations and community policing coordinators.

Analysis of crime data and neighborhood perceptions of crime suggest respondents are connected to the 6 happenings within their community. With some exceptions, police calls for service data is consistent with neighborhood perceptions of crime. Overall, respondents reported shootings, domestic violence, robbery and assault as minor problems in their neighborhoods. Eighty-one percent of respondents reported shooting to not be a problem citywide. Forty percent of respondents reported domestic violence as not a problem and 52 percent of respondents reported assaults as not a problem within the city. In the case of robbery, 54 percent of respondents reported robbery as a minor problem within the city. Figure 1 provides an overview of the responses as compared with 2013 respondents.

For robbery, the 2019 respondents also reported higher rates of “minor problem.” Issues which were reported as a major problems Conversely, crimes such as vehicle break ins and illegal drugs were reported as major problems with 31% reporting illegal drugs as a major problem and 27% reporting vehicle break ins as a 7 major problem. In contrast, in 2013, respondents ranked home break ins and vehicle break ins as major problems.

The students essentially form a consulting group that works with a community client to identify issues and execute a work plan. The Workshop aims to provide students with an opportunity to apply their planning studies to a real world situation, as well as to offer a community service. Last fall, just about the time that I needed to find a class project for the Workshop, I wound up in a carpool with Belinda Ray, president of the East Bayside Neighborhood Organization. As we were driving upstate to canvas for a presidential campaign, a sense of hope and expectation infused our conversation as we talked about the possibility for a better country and world.

  • Gateway to the Forest City? Portland, Maine’S Bayside Neighborhood, 1866-2014
    Gateway to the Forest City? Portland, Maine’s Bayside Neighborhood, 1866-2014 Alexander J. Tougas Bowdoin College Introduction: Trouble in the Forest City Ever since Portland officials created Bayside out of earth and rubble in the 1850s, they have made changes to its physical landscape with limited, if any, resident participation in the process. Bayside, a small, urban neighborhood on the fringe of Portland, Maine’s downtown, has never been deemed worthy of deliberate planning efforts that engaged the entire community, and has become both an environmentally- and socially-marginalized area. Now, however, the city has proposed a new development known as Midtown, a large-scale project consisting of four towers and two parking garages, for West Bayside (the western half of the neighborhood). Based on research I conducted on the social and environmental history of Bayside, I argue that in order to avoid the mistakes of the past, those who seek to change Bayside’s landscape today must acknowledge the neighborhood’s multifaceted history and include residents of all types in the Midtown project and other plans for the neighborhood’s future. This strategy will enable Bayside to transcend the public perception that the neighborhood is only home to undesirable people and industry. This essay draws from my Undergraduate Honors Thesis at Bowdoin College1 in which I focus on the intersection of nature and history, especially in urban places. Given the proximity of Portland to Bowdoin’s campus, it made for an excellent case study. The fact that Portland is at an environmental and social crossroads, and that I would be able to analyze how the city got to where it is and how it could move forward, intrigued me.
