Public safety is typically the responsibility of governmental agencies, such as police, fire departments, and emergency medical services, as well as non-governmental organizations and community groups. The goal of public safety is to create a secure environment where individuals can live without fear of harm, and it involves a range of activities, including law enforcement, fire prevention and control, emergency preparedness, disaster response, and public health initiatives. Effective public safety measures are aimed at reducing risks, educating the public, and ensuring that emergency services are available and responsive when needed.
