The crime and safety in the area of Santa Ana that I live in is not bad. There can always be improvements in any situation.

Santa Ana is a wonderful place to live. I hear stories that it's very dangerous to live here, but I have honestly never seen anything terrible. Your typical police officers and firefighters will charge down Euclid every month, but it's not as the media portrays it.
