Public Safety
One of the advantages of living in the I-88 West region is the commitment to public safety, reflected in the lower-than-average crime rates across both Whiteside and Lee counties. According to Sperling’s, Lee County violent crime, on a scale of 1 (low) to 10 is ranked two (U.S. average: 3); Whiteside is ranked at 1.
Property crime in Lee is consistent with the U.S. average at 3 (of 10); Whiteside’s property crime is ranked 2.
The region also offers innovative public safety programs like the Whiteside County Announces the Premises Alert Program, providing assistance to emergency medical, fire and law enforcement responders for residents with special needs or disabilities.
