During the Fort Pierce City Commission Special Meeting on May 19, 2025, a significant discussion emerged regarding the recent survey conducted among police department employees. Concerns were raised about the methodology used to select participants, with questions about whether the survey included a diverse range of voices, including those who have been with the force for varying lengths of time, such as two or five years.

One commissioner emphasized the need for clarity on who participated in the survey, questioning if it represented a balanced view of the department. The commissioner expressed a desire for transparency, suggesting that the survey results should reflect a fair representation of opinions, including both supporters and critics of the police chief.

This discussion highlights ongoing efforts to ensure accountability and transparency within the Fort Pierce Police Department. As the city navigates community concerns about law enforcement, the outcomes of such surveys could play a crucial role in shaping future policies and fostering trust between the police and the community.

In addition to the survey discussion, the meeting touched on other topics, although the details were less impactful. The focus on the police department survey underscores the city's commitment to addressing public concerns and improving community relations.

As Fort Pierce moves forward, the city commission's attention to these issues reflects a broader goal of enhancing public safety and ensuring that all voices within the community are heard and valued.
