Brownsville ranks 16th among the safest cities in the United States, according to a recent report.
The annual rankings by Smart Asset were based on factors that include violent crime, property crime, traffic fatalities, drug deaths and excessive drinking.
In the past year, Brownsville has risen past five other cities, a jump from last year’s spot at 21.
The ranking “demonstrates the city commission’s commitment to public safety as a key pillar in their strategic vision and reinforces the efforts of the men and women serving in the Brownsville Police Department,” stated a press release from city officials this week.
Police Chief Felix Sauceda said: “The Brownsville Police Department has worked restlessly to transform our organization into a modern-day police organization. Modern-day data driven initiatives along with a servant leadership philosophy have built the organizations core.”
