Springfield Home Security

 

Springfield is the capital city of Illinois. Its population of 117,352 ranks it as only the 210th largest city in the country and only the sixth largest city in Illinois. Based on its size, one may think Springfield would have a average, or slightly lower, crime rate when compared to the nation. Unfortunately, this is not the case.

According to the 2008 FBI Uniform Crime Reports, an incidence of property crime occurred in the city every 64 minutes during that year. This number also ranks property crime as the most common type of crime in the city. These numbers also indicated that a burglary is committed in Springfield every four hours. These statistics do not even include home invasions for more disturbing and violent purposes such as murder, rape, and assault.
