COMMUNITY FEEDBACK

​

In June 2025, the Frederick County Sheriff’s Office introduced a new tool for the community to provide feedback to our agency. Text message surveys are sent after certain types of interactions that our deputies respond to for a 9-1-1 call for service. Each survey asks a few questions about how satisfied the community member was with the interaction and the ability to give feedback.

 

Your feedback is important to us, and we want to know how we are doing. We also want to be able to provide positive feedback to deputies and to know if there is something that can be improved. Not every 9-1-1 caller will receive a survey, as it is based on certain non-priority call types. If a resident does not wish to participate in the survey, they can simply not respond or reply STOP to block all future surveys.

​

If you would like to provide feedback about a recent interaction with the Frederick County Sheriff’s Office and you did NOT receive an automated survey link, you may do so at by clicking the link below.
