Public safety involves the prevention of and protection from events that could endanger the safety of the general public from significant danger, injury/harm, or damage, such as crimes or disasters (natural or man-made).
Voluntary patrols, an integrated community and effective police response are crucial in keeping the crime rate down.
Public Safety and Community Patrol are valuable programs in educating law enforcement and members of the community about each others’ perspective and provide effective tools necessary for positive interactions.
With the goal of promoting communication and better understanding between law enforcement and local communities DICER looks at safety and security as one package, it makes more sense…because WE are looking at both things at the same time.
