Community Safety

Burkesville-Cumberland County is one of the safest places in the United States. It is a place to call home or a vacation destination that gives you all of the peace of mind of a charming small town. Officers and volunteers are part of the community, and their departments are well equipped to meet whatever needs arise. Initiatives focusing on safety are common such as installing mile markers on the Cumberland River for boaters to reference when calling for help.
