Integrated Response. Unified Protection.
The United States Police Department (USPD) Public Safety Division (PSD) is a specialized branch that integrates law enforcement, fire & rescue, and emergency medical services (EMS) under one unified mission: to protect life, property, and community through rapid, coordinated, and multidisciplinary response.
Our Public Safety Officers are cross-trained professionals — fully certified law enforcement officers with additional qualifications as Firefighters, Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs), and Rescue Specialists. This unique capability allows the department to deliver comprehensive response solutions to a wide range of emergencies, from active incidents and structure fires to vehicle accidents, hazardous materials situations, and mass-casualty events.
