Designed to be administered to female and male officers of all ranks, recruits in the Training Academy, and civilians. The survey should be administered by an outside organization to protect the anonymity of the respondents and to increase the survey response rate

The anonymous survey will help Chiefs answer these questions:

· ``Is sexual harassment a problem in our Department, if yes to what degree and are the perpetrators co-workers or supervisors? How is the leadership in the Department perceived regarding their efforts to prevent/stop sexual harassment?

· ``What policies and procedures do officers in the Department think would be most helpful in preventing/stopping sexual harassment? Are officers in the Department reporting sexual harassment and if not is it because they are fearful of retaliation?

· What percentage of female and/or male officers in the Depart. have mentors? How many officers don't have mentors and would like to have one? How many officers are willing to be mentors?
