In certain areas in Wilmington you are extremely safe. But if you are downtown you need to be careful, and always be on the lookout. Shootings happen fairly regularly.

I know it is the best because I volunteer as the official bugler for the New Hanover County Sheriff's Office. I have been around long enough to know that the law enforcement does their job to the best of their ability and keeps this town safe!
