Monroe Township Ranked Among Safest Cities in America by 2019 SafeWise Report
~Safest in Middlesex County, Fourth in New Jersey and 12th in Country~
MONROE TOWNSHIP, N.J. – Monroe Township today announced its top ranking in the 100 Safest Cities in America 2019 Report by SafeWise, a leading resource for home safety and security.
According to the report, Monroe Township ranked 12th safest city in America, fourth safest city in the state and the top safest city in Middlesex County.
“There’s nothing more important than the safety of all of our residents, businesses and visitors to Monroe Township. We are committed to keeping crime rates very low – zero is our ultimate goal - and continue to allocate the appropriate resources toward that mission,” said Mayor Gerald W. Tamburro. “I think all would agree that the Monroe Township Police Department is top notch and their creative initiatives toward safety and community engagement are unparalleled.”
The Monroe Township Police Department recently announced a voluntary security camera registry where businesses and residents provide access to their outdoor surveillance footage that could aid police investigations and expedite consequences for offenders while deterring future unlawful activity. Those with security systems are encouraged to join the registry and are invited to contact the MTPD at 732-521-0222.
“This ranking is a testament to the men and women who patrol the streets of Monroe day and night, as well as their supervisors and commanding officers,” Mayor Tamburro said. “We welcomed three new officers to thepolice force earlier this month and we will continue to evaluate our human resources to ensure our policedepartment has the staffing and other resources needed to be successful.”
The ranking is based on analysis of FBI crime report statistics and population data for 2017, the most recent year for which data was available.
