Ludington Police Department 2025 Community Survey Results & Analysis

In early January, the Chamber Alliance of Mason County collaborated with the LPD to distribute a community survey. The purpose of this survey was to gather feedback on the strengths and areas for improvement from the perspective of our community members. While we recognize that it is impossible to meet everyone's expectations, our primary objective is to be the best law enforcement agency we can be—willing to confront areas of weakness and build upon our strengths.As part of our ongoing commitment to transparency, we have made the survey results publicly available. We have only redacted the personal information of respondents, such as names, addresses, email addresses, and phone numbers, to protect their privacy.
