Im unranked there... in the MEAN streets of Murfreesboro.

[2.ooohhh]

I don't find it that hard to believe, Brentwood and Franklin both seem have PLENTY of officers to cover their jurisdictions.

Nolensville isn't on here, I thought for sure a town of 8000 would make the list.

 It's all a numbers game. They compiled the list using the UCR (FBI crime stats) that only counts certain crimes where at the state level we count like 25 types of crimes. These departments that use COMSTAT or COMPSTAT are playing the game. Realistically you look at the TBI crime stats for a city and you have a better idea of what goes on. But hey it made the administration happy to make the list even though it all seems like it isn't really changing anything.

What ... Oak Hill gets no mention!?

We're #22 :meh:

[Handsome Rob]

Holy crap we're #24!
I honestly thought Tullahoma would rank one above Memphis.

I'm confused, arent these cities largely populated with those evil bible thumping, gun carrying, racist white folk? Edited April 15, 2016 by kieefer

I was very surprised to see Oak Ghetto/Ridge on the list. There seems to be a lot of crime there for such a small town.
