14. Northampton Township

This Philadelphia suburb takes care of its own. Whether it’s providing transportation to veterans or planning for natural disasters, Northampton is a tight-knit community that prizes the safety of its citizens. The “Alert Neighbors Program” may be one reason Northampton streets are so safe to walk. The program is centered on enlisting the eyes and ears of the public to bolster local police efforts and remind residents to keep an eye out for one another. Its civic-minded initiatives like this that help keep this friendly township safe and secure for all of its citizens.
