DESCRIPTION OF ACTIVITIES
Since its establishment in March of 1989, the City of Norwalk Department of Public Safety has evolved into a model for cities and law enforcement agencies throughout the country.

The Department of Public Safety was developed in order to establish the concept of community-based law enforcement services and to channel the efforts of community, law enforcement, education, probation, prosecution, courts, and social services towards a common objective. The goal of the City, in developing the Department of Public Safety, was to find effective solutions to neighborhood concerns of crime, vandalism, gang activity, juvenile delinquency, narcotics activity, and the general "quality of life" issues in the Community.

Through a unique and progressive mix of services, inter-agency partnerships, and community support and cooperation, the Department of Public Safety regularly resolves many neighborhood issues before they require a law enforcement response.

The Department provides residents and business owners access to public safety and law enforcement programs and services. Public Safety Officers (PSOs) respond to requests for safety services and information, handle municipal code enforcement, parking enforcement, conduct high-visibility patrols of the City's parks, facilities, neighborhoods, and the commercial and business areas. PSOs also conduct informational outreach to the Community on public safety matters. A comprehensive listing of services available is provided in this web page.
