Promote general public safety
Goal 40. Promote general public safety
Design elements that reduce injuries and improve public safety should be included in street, building, and landscape capital improvements. Public employees and first responders should be adequately trained for handling and responding to incidences of violence such as bomb threats and shootings. Education materials illustrating “best practice” in public safety behavior should be developed and disseminated via multiple media outlets. Finally, the Town website should be reviewed to ensure emergency information is easily and intuitively accessible.
