Naperville is Named the “Safest City of Its Size” in Illinois
The crime level in Naperville is far lower than is typical for Illinois’ largest
cities, according to NBI statistics.
One big reason why Naperville has less crime than most other cities is the
relative lack of gang activity in town. This is mainly due to Naperville’s
proactive approach in implementing anti-gang programs. Since the 1980’s
and 90’s, when gangs were starting to gain hold of other cities in the State,
the Naperville city government, with the help of its citizens, has been
working to keep gangs from gaining a foothold in Naperville.

Naperville residents who care about their city’s safety.
