Group Calls Saratoga 'Safest City in California'

Los Altos is named #3 in the poll, Cupertino #12.

A business consortium of home security providers has named Saratoga as the Safest City in California in which to live.

SafeWise Security Systems named Saratoga as California's safest city, stating:
"With a well earned reputation for outstanding schools, creative dining and a small-town ambiance, Saratoga offers just about everything a family needs. Plus, it also has the honor of being the safest city in California. The most recent FBI crime report reveals that less than 20 violent crimes and two robberies were reported in law enforcement in 2011, which is commendable. Overflowing with opportunities for community engagement, recreation, and a strong business vibe, it’s no wonder once families move to Saratoga they tend to stay.

Nearby Los Altos finished in third place; Cupertino was 12th, Foster City 19th, Sunnyvale 32nd, Benicia 40th.

The study was made from the company's data and research since 2011, as well as the most recent FBI Crime in the U.S.
