If you’re a resident of another community in Virginia and don’t see your town on the list, it may be because Alarm System Reviews was unable to find enough verifiable information to include in their assessments, they note. Not every local law enforcement agency may have reported their statistics to the FBI and, as such, they would not be able to include your town in this year’s ranking, the company explained.
