- Work in conjunction with businesses, neighborhood associations, residents, and other agencies to identify and address concerns within the community
- Initiate special programs targeted to address specific fire and life safety risks identified within the service area
- Monitor public assemblies and community events to ensure safe means of egress and access for emergency services
