Safest Cities in America

Residents in a few select towns in southwestern Connecticut can feel a little safer when they lock up their homes tonight. Safewise recently released their 2016 list for top 100 safest cities in America and Ridgefield, Wilton, and Weston made the cut. In fact, they were ranked in the top 20 safest cities in the country.   On Ridgefield, the report said the town's dedication to safety is among the best in the country.  "Every year, the police host a Halloween celebration and teach their 'G.R.A.D.D.' (Government of Ridgefield against Drunk Driving) program. The initiative brings the community together to fight substance abuse and other issues that compromise the safety of the city's residents."  Read more about Ridgefield in the Safewise article.
