El Paso once again has the lowest crime rate ranking among U.S.
cities with populations over 500,000. The rankings, developed by CQ
Press, has El Paso at No. 1 for the lowest crime rate ranking for the
second year in a row.
CQ Press specializes in publishing about "American politics, federal
and state government, American institutions, campaigns and elections,
current events, and world affairs," according to its website.
In the rankings, El Paso is compared to other cities with more than
500,000 residents using 2010 crime statistics.
Since 1997, El Paso has ranked among the three safest cities.
In a press release, Police Chief Greg Allen congratulated El Pasoans
and the employees of the El Paso Police Department. "This is a great
accomplishment for all who live, work and play in El Paso, Texas,"
Allen said.
