Smithfield, VA has been experiencing a significant decrease in violent crime over the years, with a rate of 16 compared to the US average of 22.7. However, property crime in the area remains higher than the national average, with a rate of 24.2 compared to 35.4. This may be attributed to the town's relatively small population and close-knit community, which could potentially make it an easier target for property crimes. Despite this, law enforcement in Smithfield is actively working to address and prevent crime in the area, constantly monitoring and patrolling the town to ensure the safety of its residents. While there is still room for improvement, the efforts of the local authorities have helped to keep the crime rate relatively low in comparison to other areas in the United States. As a resident of Smithfield, I feel reassured knowing that measures are being taken to maintain the safety and security of our community.
