Have guns; will travel... Incidents of gang violence, parking attendants being held-up in city parking structures, school lockdowns, threatening transients, low-priority marijuana use... with a new chief of police taking the reins last week, much will be made about his priorities for the SMPD. Despite crime statistics having dropped to a 50-year low during his predecessor’s run as top cop, Chief Tim Jackman will have his hands full with resident requests. This week’s Q-Line question asks: What should Chief Jackman’s priorities be in addressing crime in the City of Santa Monica. Where is more focus needed? Call (310) 285-8106 before Friday at 5 p.m. and we’ll print your answers in next weekend’s edition of the Daily Press. Please limit responses to a minute or less.
