According to Back Ground Checks they have compiled a very well thought out list of the 50 Safest Cities in Illinois.

Now what determines is a city is safer than another?

This list was put together using BackgroundChecks.org, and it bases it on FBI violent crime stats.

I have been to many of these beautiful cities, and the write up about each is pretty nice. See if you agree with this list, here are a handful of the 50 Safest Cities in Illinois:

  • 50 Sycamore
  • 45 Elk Grove Village
  • 32 Arlington Heights
  • 31 St. Charles
  • 23 Palatine
  • 15 Northbrook
  • 12 Huntley
  • 5 Buffalo Grove
  • 2 Geneva

So how do we get Rockford on this list? What do we have to do as a community to make Rockford safer? I'd love to hear your ideas.  Captain.Jack@townsquaremedia.com
