We all have a role in keeping our community safe. Stay aware. Speak up.🫶 📣Your voice matters more than you think — one tip can protect a neighbor, a friend, or someone you’ll never meet. If something doesn’t feel right, say something. Together, we keep each other safe.💙 @SantaMonicaPD @santamonicacity
