So, how safe is Utah really?

Salt Lake City has the highest crime rate

It’s not that surprising our state’s capital has the most crime. Security systems Salt Lake City is here to protect against the 5% increase of property crime over the past year. This puts Salt Lake City at 18,687 property crimes year over year, and makes the big city safer than 0% of all Utah cities.

A lot of money has been lost to burglary

In 2015 alone, $21,546,228 was lost due to burglary. That includes $7,389,409 of jewelry and precious metals, of which only $293,892 was recovered. Not to mention $2,954,554 of televisions, radios, and stereos were also stolen and only $159,078 was returned to the owner. With statistics like that, Utah seems to be more dangerous than it appears.

Utah is #25 out of 50 when it comes to the safest states

While we’re not the most crime-ridden, we’re certainly not the safest either. When there are approximately 4,997 burglaries a day, this ranking isn’t very surprising. Of the burglaries that occur, 42% were forcible entry and 53% were non-forcible. However, a large percentage of burglaries are deterred with just he presence of a security system or camera. With a security system, your home is no longer a giant target for crime.
