Letter to the Editor – Matthew Packard, Chief of Colorado State Patrol

By Colonel Matthew Packard, Chief of Colorado State Patrol

Colorado is a vibrant, diverse state – whether describing our residents or our terrain. As your Colorado State Patrol, we provide many services and programs in an effort to make our communities a safe place to live, work, play, and travel!

I wanted to draw your attention to an important opportunity. From October 27 to November 24, 2020, the Colorado State Patrol will conduct a Public Opinion survey to better understand how well we are serving our communities. I am inviting you to complete the survey by visiting www.cspsurvey.com.

Our mission is to ensure a safe and secure environment for all persons as we provide professional law enforcement services that reflect our Core Values of Honor, Duty, and Respect. We want to know how safe you feel about traveling on Colorado’s highways, the professionalism of our members, and our services at the State Patrol. Your answers will help us better understand how we can serve you now and in the future.

Completing this survey takes 5-10 minutes. We appreciate you taking the time.

This is a state-wide survey, so the more people who participate the better the insights we will have going forward. Ideally, by the end, we will have feedback from each region around this diverse state. Please, share the link to this survey with your friends and family.

Thank you in advance for your participation. Your feedback is important to me and the future of the Colorado State Patrol.
