O'Fallon Missouri is named one of America's safest cities

The city of O'Fallon was named the 3rd safest city in America according to CQ Press's annual report, entitled City Crime Rankings 2008 - 2009. This is the first year that O'Fallon has been eligible to be included in these rankings due to our population in previous years.

The crime rate rankings of cities and metropolitan areas, with populations 75,000 or more, are calculated using six categories: murder, rape, robbery, aggravated assult, burglary and motor vehicle theft.

Congratulations to our fair city and keep up the good work.

Good morning, Don! That is one fantastic list to be included on!

Safety is always an important factor when relocating or even buying in the same town. This is great news for you guys.

Good Morning Ms. Leesa,

It is a great list to be included on and being the first year that we were eligible makes it all that much nicer.

JL,

You are so right. It seems like we are being asked the how safe is the area question a lot lately.

Don, it make syou wonder what the officials are doing differnet or what other stimulus is making a change in your town compared to other towns!

William,

I believe that they are giving all the credit to the police and their diligent work.

What a cool idea for a blog Don--now I have to go find out how GR is ranked!

Hi Don! Now, that's a list that every city would like to be on too! We just read the information that Matthews (a Charlotte suburb) is on the list but, I have not seen the entire list to know where we stand.

Have a great weekend!

Congratulations Don, I know it's because you keep an eye on everything that goes on there.

All the best!

Excellent... crime is certainly a concern for folks looking to relocate. That's a pretty darn good ranking.

Kevin,

I truly appreciate your confidence in my ability to keep an eye on everything going on in our wonderful city but, I only have one word for ya-----------------SURE. ;-)

Jesse,

My friend you are sooo right and I am glad that we have it under control.

Don,

Thanks for sharing this...as you know, my mother-in-law, whom I worship lives there....

have a great day.

Julie,

You are very welcome ma'am. I hope that you are enjoying the Holiday Season. GBU

Interesting, strangely I feel safer living in New York City than I have in the suburbs where I grew up in Seattle, WA. Obviously, the suburbs were quiet as can be, but with the doorman building I live in, the sheer number of people always around in the city no matter if its 3pm or 3am there is always somebody around.

Morgan,

I am not to sure that I could say the same thing. I like NYC but I am not sure that I feel safer there than here.

Don, Now that is something to brag about!! Neighborhood watches in this area are popular to try to keep crime rates down. It really works and the police can't do it all by themselves!

April,

This is something and I do want the public to know about it.
