Not the best image. but hopefully it helps catch the bastard.

Im not trying to be a smartass? Just look at the crimes per capita Gurnee is ~50 per thousand while Waukegan is ~30 per thousand. While violent crime is higher in Waukegan than Gurnee but on par with Evanston, its really low for all cities 4/1000 = 99.6% chance you wont be a victim.
I posted these figures to dispel the belief Waukegan is inheritable unsafe and Gurnee is safe as the commander argues for not alarming citizens.
