Looking to improve our service

[Engine 101]

Just this past year Fire Chief Peter Bryan of the Monrovia Fire Department started a new program, A program to evaluate the service our Fire Department provides, What we did is send a questionere out to residents and business's in our area in which we have responded to, On a survey card we ask them five simple questions to evaluate us on, They are based on a scale of 1-5, Here is what we ask
How quickly and efficently did we perform?
We recieved a 4.71 out of a possible 5
How well did we meet needs and expectations?
4.69 out of a possible 5

How well did we explain what is going on?
4.43 out of a possible 5

What is the level of service we provided?
4.64 out of a possible 5

We have also asked a retired Chief to study the departments future needs so we can continue to improve our service
Out here we're always looking for was to improve, We want to be a model for other departments

Sounds like a good idea you guys got going there out in Monrovia, I think Chief Mitchell contacted Chief Bryan about that, I think we might implament the same type of thing But from what I can tell you is that alot of the other VVerdugo departments are discussiong this program you guys started
