The previous author of the answer states it is not an invasion of privacy, yet attempts to justify this invasion by suggesting it will help the community. This survey should be voluntary, yet on the envelope it states it is required by law and you could get fined if you don't answer. See below on the true legality of the ACS:
Pursuant to Article I, Section 2, Clause 3 of the Constitution, the only information the census bureau are empowered to request is the total number of occupants at this address. My "name, sex, age, date of birth, race, ethnicity, telephone number, relationship and housing tenure" have absolutely nothing to do with apportioning direct taxes or determining the number of representatives in the House of Representatives. Therefore, neither Congress nor the Census Bureau have the constitutional authority to make that information request a component of the enumeration outlined in Article I, Section 2, Clause 3. In addition, I cannot be subject to a fine for basing my conduct on the Constitution because that document trumps laws passed by Congress.
Interstate Commerce Commission v. Brimson, 154 U.S. 447, 479 (May 26, 1894)
"Neither branch of the legislative department [House of Representatives or Senate], still less any merely administrative body [such as the Census Bureau], established by congress, possesses, or can be invested with, a general power of making inquiry into the private affairs of the citizen. Kilbourn v. Thompson, 103 U.S. 168, 190. We said in Boyd v. U.S., 116 U. S. 616, 630, 6 Sup. Ct. 524,―and it cannot be too often repeated,―that the principles that embody the essence of constitutional liberty and security forbid all invasions on the part of government and it's employees of the sanctity of a man's home and the privacies of his life. As said by Mr. Justice Field in Re Pacific Ry. Commission, 32 Fed. 241, 250, 'of all the rights of the citizen, few are of greater importance or more essential to his peace and happiness than the right of personal security, and that involves, not merely protection of his person from assault, but exemption of his private affairs, books, and papers from inspection and scrutiny of others. Without the enjoyment of this right, all others would lose half their value.'"

Yes, the American Community Survey (ACS) is required by law. Participation is mandatory under Title 13 of the United States Code, which gives the U.S. Census Bureau the authority to conduct the survey. Individuals are required to respond to the survey if selected to ensure accurate demographic data for government decision-making.
The American Community Survey (ACS) is a legitimate survey conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau to gather data on various social, economic, housing, and demographic characteristics of the population.

Addressing the root causes of crime, such as poverty, lack of education, and homelessness, through social programs and community support can help lower the crime rate. Additionally, investing in law enforcement strategies like community policing and crime prevention initiatives can also make a positive impact. Collaboration between government agencies, community organizations, and law enforcement is essential in creating a comprehensive approach to reduce crime.
To carry out a scene survey, first ensure personal safety and the safety of others. Survey the scene for potential hazards, assess the number of patients, and identify resources needed for assistance. Take note of important details such as mechanism of injury, environment conditions, and any bystanders present.

Possibly. . . in being able to relate to the members of the community who live in the patrol area that are affected. HOWEVER - that should have no bearing on how, or whether, the law should be enforced or not enforced. EVERYONE is required to obey the law.

This question would be better phased to ask "What does a citizen do to help his community?" This makes more sense than "required" . In the required area the only requirement is to pay their taxes. Ideally a good citizen will vote in all elections and take an interest in the affairs of his community, State and country.
