Public Safety refers to the welfare and protection of the general public, often ensuring a safe environment for individuals within a community. It encompasses various aspects, including law enforcement, fire services, emergency medical services, and disaster response. The primary goal of public safety is to prevent, reduce, and respond to incidents that could pose a threat to people, property, and the community at large.
