KIDS ROCK THE BLOCK SHARE COMMUNITY RESOURCES APRIL 12
2024 Resident Survey Opens April 3 The 2024 Irving Resident Survey opens April 3, and all Irving residents and community members ages 18+ are welcome to participate. The Resident Survey, conducted every two years, provides residents with an opportunity to rate the quality of life in Irving, as well as city services and facilities. The survey closes May 1 at 11:59 p.m. and should take about 15 minutes to complete.
Residents can provide feedback about what is working well and what needs improvement, as well as communicate service priorities for the next two years. The survey is a customer satisfaction report card for the city and a
resource allocation tool for city officials. The information collected is used to inform decisions related to service levels, budget allocation and future planning. Once the survey closes and data is analyzed, the results will be shared with Irving City Council and will be available online for the public to view. The City of Irving has partnered with Elite Research, an Irving-based research firm, to conduct the survey. For questions regarding the 2024 Irving SCAN ME Resident Survey, contact Lauren Hale at lhale@cityofirving.org. Visit CityofIrving.org/Survey to take the survey.
The Irving Police Department (IPD), Family Advocacy Center and Irving Police Athletic League (PAL) will host the second annual Kids Rock the Block event Friday, April 12 from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Irving PAL, 1007 N. O’Connor Road. The annual block party is free and showcases the technology and tools the police department uses to keep Irving kids and the community safe. This year, guests can tour IPD’s tactical vehicle and watch a drone in action. Kids are invited to try out their Nerf skills against IPD detectives and walk through the new PAL facility, as well as watch a demo of PAL’s boxing program. The event will have bounce houses, face painting and a petting zoo. Additionally, families can learn about city summer programs at the Irving Public Library, Irving Parks and Recreation and local nonprofits. Follow @IrvingFamilyAdvocacyCenter and @IrvingPD on social media for event details or visit CityofIrving.org.
