1298 - ACCG Citizen Public Safety Initiatives

The value of citizen involvement in public safety is enormous.  Informed and engaged citizens not only help solve community public safely problems, but they can advocate for much needed funding in the broad area of public safety. The specialty course Citizens Public Safety Initiatives will teach you how to determine the benefits of public safety plans, how to get citizens to help you fulfill your county’s public safety goals, and the real costs of executing public safety initiatives versus not executing them. Class discussion and guest speakers also will explore how public safety relates to transparency in government and to other areas such as transportation.  The class Citizens Public Safety Initiatives is one of eight specialty courses in the Public Safety Specialty track that offers such selections as County Law Enforcement, Family and Children’s Services, and Public Safety Policies that Strengthen Communities.
