SIMPSONVILLE, SC (WSPA) – How safe is the city you live in?

SafeWise released its latest list, and according to that website, Simpsonville is the safest city in South Carolina. SafeWise bases that ranking on information they’ve taken from the FBI website, specifically violent crimes and property crimes.

The Simpsonville Police Department credits this title to their focus on community partnerships.

“Each year we get closer and closer. Events like the National Night Out and all the events the city holds, it brings us closer to the community,” says Lt. Timmie Williams. “[People] get to see us more, they get to be around police officers more, bringing in effect that community policing.”

Lt. Williams says another big reason is that the people who live and work in the city hold each other accountable.

“People that live here, and even that move here from other places, I think they realize that this is a good community,” says Scott Causey, a life-long Simpsonville resident. “They want to keep it that way, keep it safe for their kids, their grandkids.”

Here are where some of the bigger cities in out area ranked:

29. Clemson

54. Gaffney

55. Greenville

70. Union

79. Easley

80. Laurens

83. Spartanburg
