Last week the Santa Monica Police Department reported that overall crime in the city is down 9 percent from last year, and has dropped as much as 60 percent in some areas since 1993, when crime was at its highest.

So this week, Q-Line wants to know, “Do you feel safe here in Santa Monica? Where would you not go because you feel unsafe?”

Call (310) 285-8106 before Friday at 5 p.m. and we’ll print your responses in the weekend edition. Please try to limit your comments to a minute or less. It might help to think first about the wording of your response.
