Bolingbrook Recognized as One of Illinois Safest Cities

The Home Security Advisor named Bolingbrook in annual Illinois’s Safest Cities Report

 

Bolingbrook, IL: Bolingbrook has been named as one of the Top 50 Safest Cities in Illinois in the 2019 report published by The Home Security Advisor. The article and a full listing can be found at https://www.thehomesecurityadvisor.com/safest-cities-illinois/.

 

A leader in the home security and personal safety industry, the site proclaims:

 

“In our experience the towns, cities and communities listed in our Top 50 share a number of qualities of which their residents should be proud.

 

• Strong Leadership
• Dedicated Law Enforcement
• Active Citizenship

 

These are the key ingredients that combine to make these communities among the safest and most desirable places to reside and raise a family.”

 

The Home Security Advisor rankings were calculated using the 2016 FBI Uniform Crime Report results with respect to towns and cities with Five-thousand residents or higher, who reported their crime data.

 

These figures were weighted in order to accurately indicate the seriousness of the criminal activity. Violent crimes were factored by .60 and property crimes by .40.

 

This number would be then divided by the population in the community and normalized to reflect weighted criminal offenses per 100,000.
