Located on the North Shore of Long Island, Oyster Bay, NY has long been known as a quaint and affluent town. However, recent statistics have shed light on the growing issue of crime in this once idyllic community. According to the latest data, the rate of violent crime in Oyster Bay is 40.3, significantly higher than the national average of 22.7. This includes crimes such as assault, robbery, and murder. Property crime is also a concern, with a rate of 44.7 compared to the national average of 35.4. These alarming numbers serve as a reminder that even in seemingly safe and affluent areas, crime can still be a prevalent issue. As a resident of Oyster Bay, I am deeply concerned about these statistics and hope to see measures being taken to improve the safety and security of our community.
