Public Safety

Public safety refers to the safeguarding of citizens from potential harm, danger, or threat within a community or society. It encompasses a range of services and actions taken by government and law enforcement agencies to protect individuals and property, maintain order, and ensure a secure environment for all. Public safety includes various aspects such as crime prevention, emergency response, disaster preparedness, and public health initiatives. Key agencies involved in public safety typically include police departments, fire services, emergency medical services (EMS), and public health organizations. The overarching goal of public safety is to create a safe and secure environment where individuals can live, work, and engage in activities without fear of violence, crime, or accidents.
