A new study from Ramsey Solutions has found the safest Florida cities. The study, released in May, provides a detailed breakdown for people looking to move to the Sunshine State and locals interested in seeing where their city ranks. Even the most secure cities still have crime, so it’s essential to remain vigilant even if your city ranks among the least dangerous in Florida. Property crime is rampant almost everywhere, and it only takes one determined criminal to violate your property and commit theft, robbery, vandalism, or another crime. Preparation is critical, and getting your business ready for the worst-case scenario can save you a lot of trouble in the long run.
Safest Cities in Florida
Ramsey Solutions, a financial consulting firm, analyzed FBI crime data for every Florida city with more than 10,000 residents and the number of law enforcement officers per 1,000 residents to determine the safest cities. Cities and towns with fewer law enforcement officers ranked higher for safety — this typically means that the city doesn’t have a high need for police due to lower rates of crime. Without further ado, here are the safest cities in the Sunshine State.
