Cary was fourth in the same category in 2007.
"Even though Cary continues to be the safest large community in North Carolina and one of the safest places in the nation, we never lose sight of the fact that each crime we do have forever impacts one of our family, friends, or neighbors," offered Chief Pat Bazemore in a statement released to the media.
When compared to cities of any size, Cary ranked 15th in the nation. By comparison, Raleigh came in at 173, Fayetteville at 292, and Charlotte at 324.
