Compared to American cities of its size, Manchester has an extremely low crime rate. Violent crime and property crime is rare, and even at night, visitors should feel safe in pretty much every area of the city.
Although crime is not a problem in the city, one should not take leave of one's common sense either. The downtown area is largely safe at all hours, although there are areas of the center city and the West Side where traveling alone, on foot, at night might be inadvisable. Female visitors should take all customary precautions.
Manchester's main police station is located at 351 Chestnut Street. For up-to-date information on police matters, visit the Manchester Police Department's Web site. (http://216.204.202.157/we...)
