Public Safety

Public Safety refers to the welfare and protection of the general public, often instituted and upheld by government agencies, law enforcement, and emergency services. It encompasses a wide range of services and measures designed to prevent and respond to emergencies, disasters, crime, and other threats to the community. Key components of public safety include law enforcement, fire protection, emergency medical services (EMS), public health, and emergency management. The goal of public safety is to ensure a secure environment for individuals and communities, enhance quality of life, and promote preparedness and resilience in the face of potential hazards.
