CARY, NC – The Town of Cary has been named the third safest in the nation among municipalities with populations of 100,000 to 499,999 by CQ Press, which released its annual publication “City Crime Rankings 2011-2012: Crime in Metropolitan America” on December 8, 2011. This is Cary’s 13th consecutive year on this list. Last year, the town was ranked as the second safest city in the same category.
“I am pleased that Cary continues to be recognized for its efforts,” said Police Chief Pat Bazemore. “Being ranked as one of the safest cities in American is a direct result of outstanding partnerships with our community.”
Today’s rankings represent a change for Cary over last year, when Cary was ranked the 8th safest overall and the 2nd safest large community in America.
“We expect some fluctuations in our rankings from time to time. It happens to every community,” Bazemore said. “But our focus remains the same every year—providing a safe environment for our citizens and visitors. What’s important to our citizens is important to us.”
Cary keeps its status as the highest-ranked municipality in North Carolina and in the southeast among the nation’s safest cities overall. This year, Cary ranked 11th safest overall when compared with every community of any size in the report. The rankings are based on final 2010 crime statistics.
