The SafeWise Report has released their list of the 20 safest cities in Virginia.

“To identify the 10 safest cities in Virginia, we reviewed the most recent FBI Crime Report statistics from 2014, along with population data. We eliminated all cities with fewer than 3,000 residents as well as any cities that failed to submit a complete crime report to the FBI.”
