I knew that Maine was the safest state and now I find a list of Maine's safest towns. I can now say that I grew up in the safest town in America.
1. Eliot
Population 6,204
Citizen : Police Ratio 62
The safest town in the safest state in the United States - according to our data - is Eliot, Maine. Eliot is located in York County, the farthest SW county in the state, along State Rate 236, also known as Harold L. Dow Highway. Eliot is gleaming with New England character. Air commuters can take advantage of Littlebrook Airpark. Visitors can peer into Eliot's past by visiting the Raitt Homestead Farm Museum, a beautifully preserved home of early brickmaker, miller and apple grower, Charles A. Raitt. Convenient shopping and outstanding schools in the midst of abundant recreation beckon you to Eliot. We can't stop you from bringing worries with you when you visit Eliot. But we can assure you that worrying about your safety won't serve you here. According to our data, Eliot does not have any violent crime. None.
The picture of Falmouth is Falmouth, England........LOL.
And I think that I'll take my chances in some of Maine's smaller towns over some of these choices. Winslow???......all the Waterville criminals have to do is walk over the 2-Cent Bridge! And I'll also pass on border towns in York County that are closer to urban areas to the South. Kittery???.....really?
They can't be all that safe. Notice they all have a police force.
Can not be very 'safe' if you have a police department.
Police as a feature of their jobs, file Criminal reports. Criminal reports as the basis for crime statistics. Any community that forms crime statistics has a higher crime rate, than a place that does not form any crime statistics.
Cumberland is right next to 'Salem's Lot, which means it's only truly safe before sunset.
