We are pleased to present Public Safety Issues: Help Your Community Survive and Thrive, a selection from Connecticut Town & City — a compilation of ideas and methods that municipal officials and regions use regarding emergency management and preparedness, police and fire departments, and emergency medical technician services. The ideas are reprinted from the 2003, 2004, and 2005 issues of Connecticut Town & City, the bimonthly newsletter-magazine of the Connecticut Conference of Municipalities (CCM). Connecticut Town & City developed these stories from many sources, including visits to Connecticut local governments; suggestions from municipal officials; newspapers and magazines in Connecticut and other states; publications of the National League of Cities; and publications of other states’ municipal leagues. We would be happy to hear from readers about ideas we could publish in the future. For further information on any article, write to the Connecticut Conference of Municipalities, 900 Chapel Street, 9th Floor, New Haven, Connecticut 06510-2807; telephone (203) 498-3000; or e-mail kmaloney@ccm-ct.org.
