This survey was promoted Thursday, a day after the Citizens Safety Task Force met to discuss ideas on how to make Orange County a safer place.
The task force was created to reduce crime after a string of shootings in the fall.
The meeting on Wednesday featured people who have seen gun violence firsthand and youth mentoring groups offering ways to help the community come together.
The survey asks Orange County residents their zip code and their opinion on how serious crime is in their area.
