Neighborhood Scout, an online real estate data service, has again ranked Milton as one of the 100 safest places to live. This was brought to our attention from a post on the Milton Police Department’s Facebook page.

The MPD note:

The Department is very happy to announce this morning that for the second straight year, Milton MA, has been selected as one of the “100 Safest Communities” in America. This award was made by Neighborhood Scout.com. This agency is the primary source in the US used by realtors and potential home buyers. The designation is based upon violent crime per 1000 residents as well as the overall safety of a community. Milton actually moved up 40 positions from 2013. The award affords Milton a “gold star standard” among the cities and towns of America. We want to thank all of our elected officials as well as our partners in law enforcement and every resident of Milton who takes the time to engage with us by phone, email and in person. The men and women of the Milton Police Department take great pride in the work we do protecting your well being 24/7/365. The safety and security of every home, business and school is our number one priority. Congratulations to all citizens of Milton on this well deserved award!

We would like to add a hearty congratulations to the MPD and the work they do. It is a testament to them.
