According to the SafeWise Report’s Top 30 Safest College Towns in America, the Borough of Edinboro ranked 15th.

In an Edinboro University press release, Police Chief Angela Vincent said of the standing: “The Edinboro University Police Department has a very good working relationship with the Edinboro Police Department. In order to provide a safe community for both the university and the borough, we recognize that it is imperative to share pertinent information with each other.”

SafeWise ranks security products using FBI statistics and other safetyprograms.

The press release stated SafeWise calculates the number of crimes committed in every U.S. city with at least one accredited college or university. Then, SafeWise compares the crimes to the population of the city, in addition to comparing the safety programs in the cities.
