Abstract:	In order to maximize response rates, a survey of Alaskan village public safety officers was conducted using both group-administration methods (n=32) and mail-administration methods (n=29). Included in the survey were questions related to officer job satisfaction and stress. It was expected that officers who completed the group-administered survey would be more satisfied with their jobs and report less stress. Non-parametric analysis of variance techniques were used to compare the responses for each of the administration methods. No statistically significant differences between the responses of the two groups of officers were found.
