About Perception: Trust of Police Officers and a visit with Greg Frost

Welcome to the About Perception Podcast from The Garrity Group Public Relations, this is Tom Garrity. This episode is focusing on those who stand the watch… trust of police officers and what our community can do to get a better understanding of this important profession.The 2016 Garrity Perception Survey of New Mexico residents, commissioned by The Garrity Group and conducted by Research and Polling, recently measured perceptions of New Mexico residents about favorability od small business. The survey results have a 95 percent level of confidence.New Mexico residents trust police officers. But it hasn’t always been that way. In 2014, according to the Garrity Perception Survey, only 39% of residents trusted police officers.According to the 2016 Garrity Perception Survey52% of residents trust plice officers… an increase of 13% over the past two years. Given how the law enforcement profession was perceived in our state – a result of some very high profile incidents – to see a 13% increase over two years is nothing short of impressive. Joining me today is someone who wears a lot of hats very well including community leader, real estate financer and BBQ aficionado but most of us know him as the Vice President of Business Development and Marketing for the Frost Mortgage Banking Group… Greg Frost Junior.
