10 <br /> <br />Police, Fire, and Emergency Management services are provided by the City’s Public Safety Department with 29 sworn <br />peace officers, 9 civilian employees, and 42 paid-on-call firefighters. Resident engagement and public education are <br />foundational parts of the agency’s proactive and preventative approach to delivering law enforcement and firefighting <br />services. Public Safety volunteer groups, including the Police Reserve Auxiliary, Volunteers in Public Safety (VIPS), <br />and Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) members donate more than six hours of service daily to the depart- <br />ment. Neighborhood engagement though crime watch groups and an active social media presence leverage the power of <br />citizens to protect the community. Public Safety is known for its award winning services, including four first-place fin- <br />ishes for National Night Out (NNO), two International Association of Chiefs of Police Association (IACP) Community <br />Policing Awards, and most recently the International Fire Department of the Year Award.
