Frequently Asked Questions

When should emergency services feedback be collected?

Best practice is to collect feedback 24-48 hours after the incident when the experience is fresh but emotions have settled. Avoid immediate post-incident surveys as they may capture distress rather than service quality feedback. For non-emergency calls, feedback can be collected sooner.

How can this form improve emergency response?

Regular feedback collection helps identify training needs, equipment gaps, and communication issues. Track response time perception vs actual times, identify recurring problems in specific areas, and recognize outstanding responders. Data-driven improvements lead to better community safety outcomes.

Is this form anonymous?

The form can be configured for anonymous or identified feedback. For sensitive incidents, anonymous options encourage honest responses. For follow-up cases, contact information allows for service recovery and detailed investigation when needed.

Can I customize this for different emergency services?

Yes, the template adapts based on the type of service (police, fire, EMS, dispatch). You can add department-specific questions, modify rating criteria, and include specialized follow-up sections for different incident types.

How should negative feedback be handled?

Negative feedback should trigger a service recovery process. The form includes options for respondents to request follow-up contact. Systematic analysis of negative patterns helps identify systemic issues requiring policy or training changes.
