We believe every Californian deserves to live in a safe community. Our mission is to provide clear, fact-based reporting and analysis on crime trends, public safety policies, and community security solutions across California. While we take our name from Proposition 47—a landmark policy that significantly impacted property crime rates—our coverage extends far beyond any single law. We examine the full spectrum of public safety issues affecting California communities, from local crime trends and policy impacts to practical safety solutions for individuals and families.
What We Cover
Our reporting focuses on the intersection of policy and public safety. We analyze crime data, track the real-world effects of legislative changes, and explore how different approaches to criminal justice impact community wellbeing. We also review safety products and security systems to help Californians make informed decisions about protecting themselves and their property.
Our Approach
We believe in common-sense reforms that prioritize community safety while addressing the root causes of crime. Our reporting draws from official crime statistics, expert analysis, and on-the-ground reporting to give you a complete picture of public safety challenges and potential solutions. California residents and policymakers deserve accurate information about what’s working—and what isn’t—when it comes to keeping our communities safe. That’s exactly what we aim to provide.
