POLICE MEDIA RELEASE
The U.S. Census Bureau will be mailing or hand delivering census questionnaires to Big Island residents beginning in February.
Through late August, Census Bureau temporary field staff will work in neighborhoods to deliver questionnaires, collect information from those who have not returned their census questionnaire, and verify addresses.
All Census Bureau temporary field staff will carry identification cards issued by the Census Bureau. The public is advised to ask to see an identification card before responding to questions.
The U.S. census is not a survey. It is a census, and it’s not optional. Everyone is the country is to be counted, and response is mandatory.
