I would say that for the most part I feel safe in the streets of Sacramento. Of course, there are those locations or neighborhoods that are not safe because of all the gangs and things like that. Then, in that situation, I would not feel safe in that bad neighborhood. However, for the most part including in my neighborhood which is in Citrus Heights, I feel safe in the streets.

I feel very safe in the streets of Sacramento but, also I feel safe almost everywhere. I think in this country the police da hard workto keep the order in the streets and as good as in all the country. I think there are enough police officers on the streets, there is also more in the hollidays. In these days I realy feel more safe but, besides that I don't to go because as there are more police that means more problems too. Might be more likley to get a tiket, that's why I prefer stanying at home on those days, otherwise, is more creme and accidents on the streetsthese days. I think this too, the rules in this country can't be broken, thats the other reason why in this country the order you are the more right , the American people are very strict about that.

I don't really feel that safe in the streets of Sacramento. The police officers aren't there when you really need them. But, everytime I get in my car, I pray to God.I always feel safer when I pray because I know that the Guardian Angels are keeping me safe until I get to the place I'm driving to. Where I live, there is not enough police officers. Sometimes I hear them drive by when something by my apartments happened.I am not afrad of the police because I have done NOTHING wrong that I should be afraid of them. Once, I was driving and accidently passed a red light, I got CAUGHT!! That was only one time, I'm trying not to do anything like that anymore and drive safely throughout my life, with God's help.:) Also, sometimes I see police officers when I drive somewhere. I feel safe because alot of people don't want to get caught, so they all drive safely, that's what I want them to do, even without the police.So, the only rule I wish that I could add to the laws, is for all drives to always drive safely ,even without the police around and never get drunk while driving.Also, I want them to pay attention to where they're going, not be on their phones talking and texting.

Comparing to other big cities; Sacramento should be consider to a safe city in the U.S. it is safe to walk in the streets and it doesn’t have big gang activities seriously. In some of the area still have some crime bothering people, but this is the same problem in every city.

Today crime can occur everywhere. Crime happen more and more on the streets, especially at night time. When I'm watching TV, there are many shocking news about hooligan attacks, street robberies, murders, violence, and kidnapping. Recently, I watched in the new: at night unknown shoot into a car, driven by a woman,with kids on highway. Fortunately, nobody hurt.

Today crime can occur everywhere. Crime happen more and more on the streets, especially at night time. I really like Sacramento and I feel very safe in the streets of Sacramento. I think in the street of Sacrament are enough police officers, there is also more in the hollidays. In these days I realy feel more safe. I dont really afraid of police man,I usually feel safer around them, because the police officers are here to defend the general public. Sometimes I'm afraid a little bit, and it's only when I'm driving. I remember one time it was in the park when me and one my friend went. Two police officers came and they start to ask us questions. They thought that we were drunk. Then they asked as to show our ID, but at that time i didn't even had anything. I didn't had ID and I didn't had driver license, so they said that i have to stay home. They followed us to make sure that I will go home, but after 10 minutes we went to another park and they sow us again. They checked every park in that area. They got really mad when they saw me, and they said if they will see me one more time they will give me a ticket. So only one time in my life i was a little problem with a police officers. Over all, Sacramento is a good and safe place to live.

People often tell me that it is not safe to walk along in the evenings, especially to the college parking lot after evening classes. Some students avoid taking evening classes, because they afraid of criminal. As I see, there are college police cars drive around the parking at nights, and I feel safe while I am walking to my car. To be honest, I feel safe in the streets of Sacramento, maybe for the reason, that I never had any criminal accidents. As well, I am not afraid of the police, however I feel uncomfortable around them. When I see a police car, I just want to drive as carefully as I can, since I don't want to be stopped by the police. Thanks God, I haven't had any problems with the police, however, I have respect to the people of this occupation. Policemen should be almost perfect, have a good moral standards, never break the law, have a good credit history and many more. I know all those things, since my husband wanted to be a policeman. He passed a couple classes in the Administrative of justice major, and then he decided to change his major. He told me, that it is really hard to be a police officer. Some streets in Sacramento area are safe, such as in Rocklin, in Lincoln, in Roseville; some are really dangerous, such as in South Sacramento, Franklin and Florin roads, 24 street. It can be a good suggestion do not go shopping or gas station at night time, however, video cameras on stores and gas stations are there for our safety.

I can say that I feel pretty safe on the streets of Sacramento, because there is always police around. Still there are a lot of crimes everyday, kids are kidnapped while playing on the street or walking from school. I don’t let my kids play outside alone because of the murders, kidnappings that happen each day, to kids especially. We do, have enough police in our city, and that is what calms me. I know that if, something happens I can contact the police. I am not afraid of the police because I haven’t done anything that would cause me to have problems with the police. I am happy about that. That is why I feel pretty safe walking, stand on Sacramento streets, I know that the job would be done quick if I never had problems with the police, otherwise they would have to check me if I had problems with the police and if I haven’t done anything bad they would the search or their job faster. When people have problems with the police it is harder to trust them again. We live close by a Fire Department Office. I am not afraid of anything because I know that God is always by me and nothing bad can happen to me or my family. I trust God with my life.

In many countries there is not safe to live today. Often in big cities, there are street gangs. Some blocks are especially dangerous. I think in Sacramento there is comparatively safe. We not often can hear about the crimes in the news. I've not seen many police officers on the streets of Sacramento. Some people do not like police, but I'm not afraid it. If you do not break the law there is no reason to fear it. Also I want to say that the American police acts more correctly than Russian. For example, most police officers in Russia are taking bribes. Because of this, many criminals are at large. And innocent people often suffer. Of course this happens in the U.S. I live in the U.S. for three years. During this time I've had a problem with the police only twice. The first time I got a ticket for speeding. The second time I was punished for not turning on turn signal. But in both cases police officers were right.They were quiet and polite. I liked it.

I feel very safe on the streets of Sacramento. I normally work in the day time and I avoid going to bad areas of Sacramento. In addition, I live in a suburban neighborhood with less crime. Also, police officers patrol my neighborhood, which keeps it safe. Sacramento is not a big city like New York and Chicago. Every time when I go to a big city I don’t feel safe in areas I am not familiar with or at night time. There are a lot of people doing things that are not so safe for anyone such as drugs, theft, and murder among other things.

Sacramento safe city and most of its streets are safe because the police there so I feel safe when im shopping or when I go to study in college. But I afraid many times when I go to the college specially I have classes in the night because I know that the crime can occur any where and I often avoid going out at night for walking or shopping but I feel safer when I see the police car drive around there watching or trying to protect innocent people that they doing their activities.

Yes, I feel safe on the streets of Sacramento. I can see the police around the city working. I never had problems with them, but I got help from them. Although some things are good, they also have their bad things. Everything good always has a downside.

I feel safe on the streets of Sacramento. I know that there are many dangers, as in the south of Sacramento is very serious, because it's very dangerous at night, but over all Sacramento is a good place, compared to others cities from California, it is way much worse. For example, like San Francisco and Los Angeles, it's been said that there are more accidents and dangerous things that go on there.Sacramento is a city much smaller and it is said in the news that there are accidents, but it is also said there is a lot of protection. We should also avoid problems ourselves. I am not scared of the police. I feel safe with them . I've had two tickets in the past for speeding , but I feel like that was the right thing to do, in their part. They also talk to you with a lot of respect and I see how the police are watching over kids and teenagers in the schools and also that makes a parent feel more secure. A lot of things happen in the world, and we never know what will happen to people or ourselves, but I know that the police are here to help and to protect our society.

I feel safe in the streets of Sacramento most of the time.Especially on weekends.Because of the weather of Sacramento is similar to the weather of my country,many times I feel my self like I am in the streets of my country.That's why I feel safe.Some nights times I feel unsafe in the streets because they become empty,and very quiet.Under these conditions many areas witness a high rates of crimes.Weekends nights I feel safe because streets are crowded with people who party on weekends.Some areas in Sacramento you can feel there are enough police officers around.Especially where the rich people or political persons live in.To be honest I don't feel there are too many police officers around the area where I live,but also I don't feel there aren't enough officers.I feel like there are police officers that can handle the crimes wherever ,and whenever they are taking place.I usually don't afraid from the police.I do feel safer around them.I can say most of the time I feel safer around them,and I don't want to be a person with two opinions ,but when I'm speeding while driving ,and see a police officer even if he is on the other line I afraid.Some times I drive safety , but feeling afraid when I see the police officer without any reason because of the prices of tickets here in the U.S.Till now I don't have any problem with the police.I am still new in this country. I have been here just for 1 year,so that is one of the reasons that I don't have any problems with police.I am very careful when I drive because they told me if you got a ticket it will affect you green card period,and this is another reason why I don't have any problem with the police.

The streets of Sacramento are full of police offers and I am glad about it. Everywhere I go, I see at least one police car. I feel safe in Sacramento because there are a lot of cops around me. If police didn't exist then everything would probably go chaos. There would be major conflicts that would lead into wars. Also there would be robbery. In my opinion everyone feels safe around police. I am not afraid of the police because I know that I didn't do anything wrong except for one time. The police stopped me on freeway because I didn't wear my sit belt. The officer gave me a ticket for three hundred dollars. I told him to forgive me, but he didn't. I think that he made a right choice and if he did forgive me then I would repeat the same thing over and over. Now when I drive, I try to wear my sit belt all the time because I am concerned about my safety. There are bad neighborhoods, streets and etc. Sometimes when I go through these streets or neighborhoods I don’t feel safe, but when I see police I feel safe. One time I was staying under a stop light and saw how one person was driving drunk. He was behaving weird and his car was shaking. One police officer saw him and then arrested him. I think the officer did a good job because the drunk driver could have killed someone. In my opinion the police in Sacramento are enough and I feel safe around them.

I live in Sacramento and I feel safe. I live in a safe neighborhood. Good neighborhoods are usually safer than bad neighborhoods. I think unsafe areas are where gangs are. Also at night gas stations and liquor stores can be unsafe. I think that Sacramento's police department does a pretty good job. Especially when you call 911, they encourage you one the phone and suggest how you should behave to feel safe until they arrive shortly. You feel protected when the police do this. I feel safe when I see police on freeways and streets when they go around making sure everything is fine. Sometimes when I have to go somewhere I pray because I know that there has to be a bad driver that could either be drunk or on drugs. Unfortunately the economy is bad right now and the government lower the amount of police and I think that is bad because when something happens the police arrive little late due to low amount of officers. Someday I was going somewhere with my family and an officer stopped me because I wasn’t wearing my sit belt. He approached me and checked my documents. He gave me a ticket for hundred and fifty dollars. I told him that this was my first time if he can forgive me, but he said no because this is for our safety. One day I was lost in downtown and one officer helped me out. I am not afraid of the police and I feel safe around them.

Do I feel safe in the streets of Sacramento? There are some dangerous parts in Sacramento. It is especially dangerous at night. On local television you can often see reports of killings, robberies and kidnappings on these parts of Sacramento. Once in one of this areas I saw people with weapons. They held a guns under clothing. At other time I saw how police arrested a man. It is very very criminal area! I would not be in this place at night time.

I've lived in Sacramento for the last two and half years, and have had no problems so far. I live aproximately one mile away from ARC. In the day time my neighborhood is safe, but in the night time I wouldn't walk around.alone, but only when accompanied by two or more friends. I think my neighborhood is not completely safe. Anyway, in Sacramento, there are a lot of nice, quiet neighborhoods with no crimes and slow traffic. In this big city, when I'm driving a car I dont feel very safe. I drive very carefully. I respect everyone around me in the traffic. But there are a lot of people who drive unsafely and respect nobody on their way. Also there are a lot of drugged and drunken people driving. These factors cause a lot of accidents in Sacramento. So, I can not feel completely safe in this city. I think nowdays there are not enough police officers in Sacramento. Crime, drugs, alcohol, violation on the roads are making the city's safe worse and worse. Because of this Sacramento needs more police officers. I'm not afraid of the police. I respect them because they do very dangerous job. I always feel safer around them..I have never had any problems with the police.

I live in Sacramento only two years and I never live in other cities in USA.I can not compare that city with European's cities because they differ each from other in many ways.In my opinion live in this city is enough safety.I like Sacramento.The first.As for me,it is enough quite city though it is a big city.The main streets are more noise because there are too many cars in these streets,but side streets are enough quite and calm.In my country where I lived in Ukraine my city was very noisy and busy and on the streets and sidewalks was too many people and a public transport and many different cars.The second.Very often I see the police cars on the streets of Sacramento.I feel more safety if I meet the police.I hope that the policemen guard the order in the city.I know that there are many different areas in our city.Some areas are more safety,some areas are not enough safety.I like Fair Oaks,Carmichael,Citrus Highs,Orangevaille.The third.I like Sacramento because of the climate.I like the weather in this place.It is a warm is very long time.I like a summer and a warm.and I like that there are many parks and many different trees and bushes in the streets of this city. It is a green city.Some people tell that Sacramento is a big village.If I compare Sacramento with my city where I lived before,it is true for me,but i like this city and i don't care what the people say.I feel good and safety in that place where I live now.

In my opinion , it is very important to live in the safe area where you or your family will not be afraid to go outside. When my wife and i were choosing a house, we mostly were looking at safety of the street. Sacramento is very quet town, even though there are some criminal streets. iI cannot tell for all people who live here but i think sacramento is a good place to live and raise your children.

I don’t feel safe in the street of Sacramento because there have many crimes: drug, robber, fighting… for example, my friend walked around at a little Saigon shopping. Suddenly, a group of robber attacked at the jewelry shop. When the police came over, robber caught my friend make hostage. After that happened, he tell me you shouldn’t walk in the street of Sacramento. I’m not afraid of the police and I feel safer around them because they are good people. Their jobs are secure people and against crimes. That’s why I’m not afraid police at all. We need them. If the society without them, we will have many dangerous in life. They are an important part in our life. I don’t have any problem with police because I’m a good person. I understand, I only have problem with the police if I do illegal. Life is a rule. I live and work follow the law and I don’t have to afraid police.

I just move to Lincoln from Grass Valley it was a big change. In Grass valley you feel safe and know that every time you need help you can trust that the police is going to be there to help you. Now in Lincoln I noticed that there are a lot of cops. In one way is great having the police near, but sometimes I get more scared of them then safe around them. I always fear that they are going to stop me and give me a ticket. They are always around my house because I live in a very popular street in Lincoln. I have never been in in trouble with the police or a problem with them. That’s why sometimes I get scared for my first time. Walking on the streets of Lincoln can be scary if you don’t know the surroundings, but if you’re familiar are very normal seeing people at any time walking on the streets.

I don’t have enough experience to walk in the streets of Sacramento because most of the time I drove a car and I rarely walk in the streets. In my opinion, I prefer not be in the streets at night time since I don’t know the neighborhood or the people, but in the day time I enjoy be outdoor and I feel safe and comfortable in the streets or the parks, when I running in the morning. I think, there is enough police for the day time. On other hand, at night time I would like to see more police officers in the streets of Sacramento since there seems to be more crime at night. I am not afraid of the police because most of the time the police were nice and polite to me and I feel safer around them, because the police have to protect everybody, so I know I feel safe. I don’t have any problems with the police even though I was pulled over for speeding in a construction zone and for talking on my self phone while I was driving, also I received a ticket because the officer said I went throw a red lights. All of these infractions I have in the beginning when I start driving, so I learn know how to drive safe and pay attention to the rules of the road. However, if the police try to be better along with everyone else, things would be much better.

While living in Sacramento, I have heard a lot about the different crimes that happened in our city. As a result, I do not feel safe in the streets of Sacramento, especially during the night. I feel like I always have to have another person around me when ever I want to take a walk or go to a store. Even if I go somewhere with my friends, I try to not go late during the evenings even if guys go with us for my safety. I have never got in trouble while driving on the streets of Sacramento from police. Because of this, I am not afraid of police. I do not like to drive on a street when a police car drives besides me because I do not feel comfortable. I feel like something might be wrong with my driving and I might get in trouble for something. I feel safe around police because they are there to help people and I feel that if I will ask them for help, they will help me. I try to drive as the speed limit shows and follow the law on the roads, so I did not have any problems with police. I am happy that we have police that would help us and provide safety when we need their assistance. I wish that there would be less crimes in our city so that people would feel safer on the streets of Sacramento.

I fell pretty safe in street of Sacramento. Actually I live in Rocklin, and here I feel very safety. Rocklin is very beautiful and calm city. I never have some weird situation. Before, when I came to United Stats of America, I thought it doesn’t mater which aria or city you live. But right now I understand that it is very important choose the right place and aria where you want to live. I would never choose Northgate or Arden or west Sacramento aria. Because there are a lot of crime. A lot of people care guns, and do drugs. Not a long time ago one Russian girl was soot by some guy on her working place. She was a pharmacist. It happened on Watt street. You don’t accept this kind of situation. I thought that on your work place you are safe, but no. it can happen in any place and any time. In Rocklin there are a lot of polices. I feel very safe around them, and I don’t afraid them. Because I don’t do anything wrong, so that’s why I don’t afraid them. I never have any problems with the police. I was pullover just one time, because my lights on my car didn’t work, so he just told me that and he let me go. I always try to drive my car very safety. Because I don’t have extra money, and I don’t want to get a ticket. I am glade that I live in Rocklin.
