Introduction

The Department of Police, Department of Fire, Department of Corrections, and Emergency Management Agency are responsible for the maintenance and effective delivery of public safety services to the citizens and business community of the City.

Public safety policies focus on engaging the whole community in building and sustaining a safe, fear-free environment. The City's policies embrace community policing; the reduction of response time for emergency vehicles; creating more public/private community safety partnerships; and better coordinating public safety efforts. Projects include the creation of and improvements to fire, police and emergency management facilities and communication systems. Programs include FACE 5, Weed & Seed and participation in downtown's Interagency Law Enforcement Group (ILE) and numerous citizen initiatives.
