How do you know? I live in Wheaton and its true there are very very few murders that have ever occurred here. But I do remember one in recent years up around the college ave train station. Then there was one some years ago it was some guy I ithink that shot his girlfriend somewhere near a fast food restaurant. So they do occur but very unlikely.

Wheaton is one of the safest towns in Illinois, and by far the safest town with a population in excess of 50k.

We've got a great no nonsense police force, and Wheaton's status as the home of the DuPage County Sheriff means we have a disproportionate number of county sheriff cruisers out on our roads at any given time.

We only have murders in Glen Ellyn when those Wheaton trouble makers hang out here. Wheaton is a hotbed of scoundrels, villains, and ne'er-do-wells.
