Warwick Township in Bucks County has been recognized as one of the safest communities in Pennsylvania for 2026, ranking near the top of a new statewide list compiled by SafeWise based on FBI crime data.
Warwick Township placed fourth overall among Pennsylvania municipalities evaluated for low violent and property crime rates, joining a select group of communities that made the organization’s "Safest Cities in Pennsylvania" ranking.

Out of the cities and townships that met reporting criteria, Warwick Township, with a population of around 14,700, posted impressively low violent and property crime rates — contributing to its high placement at No. 4 on the statewide list.

The ranking places Warwick ahead of most other municipalities in the commonwealth and highlights local crime rates that compare favorably with statewide trends. While Pennsylvania overall has seen increases in some categories of crime in recent years, communities like Warwick buck that trend with consistently low reported incidents.
