HOWEVER, there is no way, no how, that it is the “2nd Safest City” in NJ. And how the heck do you vote for the safest city?
It’s safe, but it’s not crime-free. A little bit of mayhem occasionally breaks out in the Market Street area.

Well, of course its not crime free. No town in NJ is crime free. Even the most expensive NJ towns (real estate wise) have a level of crime.
According to the site the list is "compiled based on FBI violent crime stats and proprietary BackgroundChecks.org research data.* Rates are normalized per 100,000 residents with the state average being 261 for violent crime and 1,734 for property crime.* This is calculated by taking (# of crimes/population) * 100,000"
I am not sure what "mayhem" on market st is defined as. Market Street runs through 3 towns. Garfield, Elmwood Park and in Saddle brook. And it only makes up 1 mile of saddle brook.
