About This Website

The Santa Monica First Responders Coalition website serves as a community hub for public safety information, resources, and engagement in Santa Monica, California. Built and maintained by the Coalition — a 501(c)(4) nonprofit organization founded in 2022 — this platform connects residents with the firefighters, police officers, paramedics, and emergency personnel who serve our city every day.

Our mission is to provide clear, reliable, and accessible information that helps residents stay informed, prepared, and engaged. We cover major city events, policy initiatives, fire and EMS issues, and police department updates — offering community members direct insight into the challenges and opportunities facing public safety in Santa Monica.

This website is designed for everyone who calls Santa Monica home: long-time residents, newcomers, business owners, families, and visitors alike. Whether you want to learn about upcoming events like the FIFA World Cup and LA Olympics, understand how policy decisions affect emergency response times, or find ways to get involved in community safety efforts, this site is built for you.

The Coalition is made up of active and retired first responders who have served the Santa Monica community for decades. We believe that open communication and collaboration between residents and public safety officials is essential — especially as the city navigates major upcoming events, changes to the built environment, and evolving policy decisions that impact safety outcomes.

We invite you to explore the site, learn about the issues that matter, attend community events, and reach out to get involved. Together, we can make real and lasting impacts on the safety and well-being of our community.
