Wamego, Kansas has seen a relatively low level of crime in recent years, with a violent crime rate of 9.2, well below the national average of 22.7. This can be attributed to the small-town atmosphere and tight-knit community in Wamego. However, property crime remains a concern, with a rate of 21.6 compared to the US average of 35.4. This may be due to the town's growing population and the influx of tourists drawn to Wamego's popular attractions, such as the Oz Museum and the annual Tulip Festival. Despite this, the people of Wamego remain vigilant and work together to keep their community safe. As a resident of Wamego, I feel fortunate to live in a place where crime is not a major issue, but I understand the importance of staying aware and taking precautions to protect ourselves and our property.
