Hamden, Connecticut, a small suburban town located just outside of New Haven, has been facing increasing rates of crime in recent years. According to the latest statistics, the town's violent crime rate stands at 21.4, just below the national average of 22.7. This includes crimes such as murder, assault, and robbery, which have been on the rise in Hamden. Additionally, the town's property crime rate is currently at 33.3, slightly lower than the national average of 35.4. This includes crimes such as theft, burglary, and motor vehicle theft.

As someone who lives in a neighboring town, I am deeply concerned about the safety of my community and hope to see a decrease in crime in Hamden.
