Active communities are the best partners the police have when it comes to fighting crime. Showing that small crimes and nuisance activities will not be tolerated in your neighborhood sends clear signals to criminals to stay away. That means painting over graffiti, posting block watch signs, reporting suspicious activity, and joining your local Neighborhood Crime Watch.

Preventing fires is mission-critical to the Bureau of Fire, so fire safety education remains a core service of the Bureau. Through well-planned, year-round fire prevention programs, the Bureau educates the public about fire and burn hazards, how to prevent fire and burn injuries due to individual carelessness, how to survive a fire once it starts, and how to treat a burn injury properly. The Bureau’s fire prevention program is designed to address the unique issues of home, school, workplace and the community.
