SAFETY & VIOLENCE
Public safety is an essential part of community health. It affects how secure residents feel, how easily they can get help, and their overall well-being. Smaller communities with fewer services often feel the impact of violence and safety concerns more strongly. The reports outlined here provide data on crime and victim services to help communities better understand local needs and support advocacy for prevention and support services.
