On a scale of 1 to 10, New Yorkers rated their trust in the NYPD at 6.6, according to the latest data from the department.

That data, released by the NYPD this week, was garnered from an NYPD-funded cellphone survey known as the “sentiment meter,” which provides the department with feedback from the public.

Roughly 7,500 New Yorkers a month answer questions from the survey, which is conducted by a private company hired by the department and poses queries like, “When it comes to the threat of crime, how safe do you feel in your neighborhood?”

The survey, which aims to measure the trust people have in the NYPD and how safe they feel, is “consistent with neighborhood policing,” Police Commissioner James O’Neill once said.

In August, New Yorkers gave the NYPD a rating of 6.6 for their trust, according to data, which showed that city residents’ sense of safety was down from a high of 6.8 in February to 6.3 in August of this year.

New Yorkers rated both their trust in the department and how safe they feel at 6.5 for the month of July, the data shows.

Gothamites gave the NYPD a baseline rating of 6.1 for trust and 6.5 for safety in September 2016, according to the data.

“Safety is a shared responsibility,” Devora Kaye, the department’s Acting Deputy Commissioner of Public Information said in the statement to The Post Wednesday. “The NYPD continues to deepen its neighborhood policing philosophy and understanding how safe people feel is central to that work.”

“There are a lot of factors that influence how a person feels about their safety, some factors have to do with the NYPD and some are factors outside of the NYPD’s role,” Kaye noted, adding, “This could be a national incident or a well-publicized incident that happens in another neighborhood.”

Kaye continued: “Regardless, it is the NYPD’s responsibility to keep people safe, and this tool gives us information about how the community members we work with every day feel.”
