More often than not, I wonder about my safety in my neighborhood/area in contrast to police being there when they need to be. Especially in the summer I can't go down the street to the store without getting catcalled. Additionally, I've called local police about noise complaints about the house across the street from me several times, but I doubt if anyone gets sent. It still happens.
