There are people who may want to know what factors are considered to add a town in the list of safe towns by the security industry advisor and it is possible that their views are different from those who think they know what makes a town safe.
Some people may be surprised to know what makes a town safe, according to the security industry advisor.
100 towns are listed by Safewise, which are considered as “shining examples of New Jersey’s commitment to safe streets for all citizens.”
From November 2016 till now, the number of offenders taken into custody is 150 and the credit goes to the statewide Violent Crime Initiative.
“The program was so successful that Attorney General Christopher Porrino recently announced another new directive designed to thwart victim and witness intimidation.”
When it comes to property related crimes, New Jersey is on the third-lowest position, below the national average for property crime.
In the report, 84% towns have reported less than 25 burglaries and the number of property related crimes in 36 towns is less than 100.
In 88% towns, the total number of violent crimes is less than 10 as the number of violent crimes is not common in safe towns. The number of murders in 92% towns is zero and the number of crimes linked to robbery is less than 5.
According to an estimate, the possibility of becoming a victim of violent crimes in the towns listed as safe is one in thousand.
Here is the list of towns with low crime rate with the top 15 town details.
