How safe is Edmond?

If you’re looking for a place where you can sleep easy at night (and let your kids ride their bikes to school without constant worry), Edmond’s your spot. It’s seriously one of the safest cities in Oklahoma, and it’s not just locals saying that. The stats back it up.

Violent crime? Super low. We’re talking about 2 incidents per 1,000 people, which is way better than the national average. Property crime is low, too... way below the state average. Most of the issues the police deal with are small-time stuff like traffic or the occasional mischievous teen. Nothing that’ll make the evening news.

The Edmond Police Department is on it. They’ve got community policing down to a science, with programs like Neighborhood Watch, Citizens Police Academy, and even officers assigned to public schools. The schools also have strict security protocols... think locked entry points, drills, and full-time school resource officers.

But the real safety magic comes from the people who live here. It’s a community full of folks who care, neighbors who actually wave, check your mail when you're out of town, and keep an eye on your house. That whole "it takes a village" vibe? It's alive and well in Edmond.

So yeah, if safety’s on your checklist, go ahead and check that box... Edmond’s got you covered.
