After the nonprofit business district Downtown Santa Monica allocated $1.7 million from its ambassador program for a deal with Covered 6 for dedicated security guards, we asked our readers how they approved of the development.
Our results were as follows:
Yes, it is what is needed to keep the local community safe – 58.67%
Yes, but preferably that money wouldn’t have gone to a private contract – 10.67%
No, upgraded security is the last thing we need – 5.33%
No, that money should have been spent on the City hiring officers themselves – 25.33%
