Murphy ranks as seventh safest Texas city

by | Jun 17, 2021 | Latest

Murphy and Wylie are two of the top safest cities in Texas, according to a recent study by SafeWise.

Murphy was ranked seventh and Wylie finished at 20, said SafeWise, which does research on home security.

“This is a great accomplish­ment for the city as a whole,” Murphy police Chief Arthur Cot­ten said. “It all starts with great citizens who stay alert and report suspicious activity. Murphy has a great team of professionals that take service to heart and are proud of such a safe city.”
