Sustaining Safe Neighborhoods.

THE RANGE OF SAFETY ISSUES.

Small cities and towns have experience employing their police, fire and rescue teams to protect their citizens and businesses. The arising array of natural, social, broadband and transportation dangers presents new challenges intellectually and fiscally.

PARTNERSHIPS.

Small cities and towns usually have limited resources to devote to newly arising issues. Partnering with professional organizations, in- town associations and neighboring cities can be useful. The International City/County Managers Association, a local council of municipalities, the town’s neighborhood associations and business groups are resources to utilize. Collaborations and cooperations in a time of expanding challenges is prudent and productive.
