The Town of Fishers has been named the safest city in the nation by CQ Press in their City Crime Rankings 2011-2012: Crime in Metropolitan America report. The report is based on 2010 crime statistics of 405 cities in categories such as murder, rape, robbery, aggravated assault, burglary, and motor vehicle theft.
According to CQ Press, “Last year CNN Money ranked Fishers number eight on its top 100 places to live in America. CNN Money noted the city’s low unemployment rate of just above 6 percent and cheap housing stock as reasons to make the move to Fishers. As CQ Press found, it also has a very low violent crime rate with no murders and just four aggravated assaults reported in 2010.”
“We are excited to be recognized as the safest place to live in the nation,” said Fishers Town Council President Scott Faultless. “This latest recognition is largely due to the outstanding efforts of Chief Kehl and the members of the Fishers Police Department. We congratulate them for an exemplary job in keeping us safe.”
Published annually, City Crime Rankings is a staple resource for researchers, city and law enforcement officials, and the news media that follow trends in crime. The rankings include all cities of at least 75,000 residents that reported crime data to the FBI in the categories noted for calendar year 2010.
