Is Clayton safe?

Where? Most of these "criminals" are punk kids that pose no real danger other than to steal your material stuff. A "Boo" has them dropping the items and running like lil girls. More of a nuisance than a threat.

I have lived in Clayton for 27 years. In my opinion it is safer than it's surrounding towns. We moved from the West side (close to town are) to the far, far EAST side 7 years ago. We moved due to crime. My car was broken into and it was was chronic in our area. We also had gang activity in our neighborhood and several registered offenders closer than I was comfortable with.

We moved to a gated community (gates are open during the day) but still have some car breakins there. Also things have been stolen from people yards so it happens everywhere.
