One of the major elements of "quality of life" is public safety and Fayette County takes a back seat to no one in this category. Fayette County has by far the lowest incident of crimes against people and crimes against property (see "Atlanta Regional Crime Statistics" page later in this section) in the metro-Atlanta region. Additionally, the city of Peachtree City traditionally has either the lowest or next to the lowest crime rate of any city in America with populations of 20,000 and greater!

Police Departments

The Fayetteville Police Department is one of only 24 departments in the state that has received state accreditation from the Georgia Police Accreditation Commission and was named for the second year in a row "Georgia's Best Trained Police Organization" by the Georgia Association of Chiefs of Police.

Both the Fayetteville and Peachtree City Police Departments are accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc. (CALEA).
