The Community Forum on Safety & Policing raised a number of issues and concerns, including how to develop good community practices to help our neighbors and the police, a perceived increase in crime in SOMA, the best ways to stay safe, the importance of staying aware and maintaining home safety routines like locking doors and cars.
