A quick description of my community
My community is a small one, yeah a small one but with the potential to become a very large one, similar to a tree with the inherent tendency to branch out far and wide. On the not so palatable side, its located quite far away from the outskirt of the main town. Frankly that my only problem with it. You could refer to it as a developing community in a developing country. Small, peaceful, but still an amazing sight to behold, from the really amazing vegetations to beautifully constructed houses and minuiature industrial infrastructures, we are kicking it big time .
How safe is my Community?

Well, as regard safety, I would say this straight and point blank. My community is pretty darn safe during the daytime. Now, I can only speak from my own experiences of the day time. I also have an hunch that most people I know feel the same way.
Why?
Well, as I wander around, which I have on several occasions I can't help but notice the comforting sense of security that hangs in the air. It's like a cozy blanket that drapes over our streets and homes. The sense of a serene and tranquil atmosphere.
From families out and about, kids running about with joyful playfulness plastered on their faces. It's a scene that plays out like a heartwarming movie. I see neighbors chatting on their porches, maybe giving a friendly wave as I pass by. It's these everyday moments that make me realize how connected we are, and that connection is a key ingredient in our daytime safety recipe.
We have a public school field in our community where people, even non-community folks gather to watch others play soccer ball, its like our own mini stadium.
You know what else?
Our local businesses aren't just faceless entities. They're like old friends who know our names and our favorite orders. When I step into a shop, it's not just a transaction; it's a genuine interaction with someone who cares. And I'm not the only one who feels this way. It's like a network of safety we've woven together, one where we watch out for each other.
But you want to know the real secret sauce of our community's safety during the day? It's unity. Yep, that feeling that we're all in this together. Our events, and gatherings are more than just excuses to have fun (though they are definitely that!). They're chances for us to come together and remind ourselves that we've got each other's backs.
As the sun starts its journey down, I can't help but feel grateful for the safety that blankets our community. Those kids playing in the streets will head home, the businesses will close their doors, but that feeling of security stays with us. It's like a guardian that watches over us, ready to greet us with open arms when the sun rises again.
So, here's the thing: our community's safety isn't just an idea; it's a living, breathing reality. It's the friendships, the laughter, and the connections that make us who we are. Every smile we share, every chat we have, contributes to the cozy haven of safety we've created.
Yeah, you can see to the face of the people if the community is safe and since it was a small community that people know each other, people would think twice if they want to do bad things. Crimes can still exist but there is a high chance that it was done by outsiders.
Yeah unity and acceptability is a core factor that can foster safety and peace in any community, I'm glad your community learn to accept this.
