Usage, examples and definition of the Idiom :-

I wish someone would tell the boss that when a person talks about safety in numbers he isn’t talking about a safe with a number of locks: he’s saying that there’sgreater protection against misfortune when a person is in a group. ‘If it’s true that there’s safety in numbers my records should be secure now,’ the boss said.
