Preparation, prevention, intervention, responsiveness, effectiveness and efficiency are all vital to successful public safety.

We will increase the livability of our county by targeting and reducing criminal activity that imperils the safety of our neighborhoods. In support of this goal, we should encourage collaborative relationships with partner agencies that leverage resources and strengthen community involvement. We should also promote consistent communication to support cross-trained personnel and ensure communities are educated and ready to respond to threats of any scale.

Priorities: 

• Establish a forum to facilitate information sharing and discussion across all segments of public safety
• Foster an environment that encourages shared resources and strategic planning for public safety programs and services as a high priority
