CULLMAN – The city of Cullman has been named one of the top 20 safest cities in the state of Alabama by the National Council for Home Safety and Security (NCHSS). Cullman is ranked no. 20.
The council is a national trade association comprised of licensed alarm installers, contractors and other relevant trade groups whose goal is to further knowledge about home safety and security.
According to Robyn Avery, NCHSS media director, "We reviewed the most recent FBI Uniform Crime Report statistics along with our own population data and internal research. We eliminated any cities that failed to submit a complete crime report to the FBI and removed cities with populations under 10,000. The remaining cities were ranked based on the number of reported violent crimes (aggravated assault, murder, rape and robbery) and property crimes (burglary, arson, larceny-theft and motor vehicle theft) per 1,000 people. These variables were then weighted, with violent crimes accounting for 1.5 of the total (due to their severity) than property crimes."
