From The Mouth of Politician Hizzoner John Giles: Reality Check on Public Safety

No matter what the mayor says - much different for the reliable data from multiple sources - he comes up short on delivering actual results results for public safety paying 'lip-service' all the same time using the phrase public safety in a taxpayer-trick. In a second term, Giles states that he will renew efforts to ensure that we continue to be a safe city..."
More Jive-Talk...enough of that already. Nope
Here's a study released yesterday
2019’s Safest Cities in America
WalletHub | Dec 2, 2019
". . . No one can avoid all danger, however, and we take on a certain level of risk based on where we choose to live. Some cities are simply better at protecting their residents from harm. To determine where Americans can feel most secure — in more than one sense — WalletHub compared more than 180 cities across 41 key indicators of safety. Our data set ranges from assaults per capita to unemployment rate to road quality. . . '
Methodology
In order to determine the safest cities in which to live, WalletHub compared 182 cities — including the 150 most populated U.S. cities, plus at least two of the most populated cities in each state — across three key dimensions:
1) Home & Community Safety,
2) Natural-Disaster Risk, and
3) Financial Safety.
