Officer Safety

Officer safety refers to the strategies, precautions, and procedures law enforcement officers use to protect themselves from harm while performing their duties. This includes situational awareness, proper use of equipment, effective communication, and assessing risks before actions. The goal is to minimize danger during interactions with the public, high-risk situations, or undercover work. Prioritizing officer safety ensures that officers can carry out their responsibilities effectively while reducing the likelihood of injury or harm, ultimately allowing them to serve and protect the community more safely and effectively.
