Florida crime rate lowest in 39 years

The crime rate in Florida during 2009 was the lowest reported in 39 years according to a report released by Governor Charlie Crist and Florida Department of Law Enforcement.

Violent crimes decreased by 10% and non-violent crimes decreased by 6.2%.

It is not unusual for persons interested in moving to Florida to ask about the crime rate. The announcement is encouraging and a good indication that efforts by law enforcement to make Florida a safer place are succeeding.

You can check crime statistics and read the full announcement by visiting the FDLE website.
