Community Safety

As the primary Security and Emergency Response team, Community Safety responds to serious, unexpected, and often dangerous situations requiring immediate action; such matters may pose immediate threat to health, life, property, environment with high probability of escalating quickly/dangerously without quick intervention. Community Safety works collaboratively with the CARES Team in support of effective response for all involved in both first response and emergency response instances.
