Sunnyvale Tutors Tutors Come To You

Sunnyvale is in the minority of local cities and counties with regards to its system of public safety.

For the wealth of cities in the U.S. it is commonplace that each of the special services recruit or train specific personnel for each department. The Police department’s employees specialize in law enforcement, the Fire department are experts in fire prevention, fire suppression and rescue, and the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) transport victims via ambulance and provide emergency first responder medical care. Each department has a very important role to provide to the community and has an extraordinary amount of specialized information to learn and employ. In this traditional set up the “Department of Safety” is a joint administration of several very distinct agencies. The “Department of Safety” therefore would be the administrative back-office where these worlds collide, and a general umbrella term for the many distinct entities that work together during an incident to ensure the safety of a citizen.

According to Sunnyvale tutors, Sunnyvale is one of the few jurisdictions that go against the grain in terms of its public safety framework. The staff of their Department of Public Safety (D.P.S.) are trained in all aspects of public safety and in their day to day work cross-over between being firefighters, police officers and EMTs. These highly trained individuals are then able to immediately respond to a number of situations immediately without having to wait for the other department to arrive. This ability to immediately respond to fast evolving scenarios is a huge advantage when immediate action needs to be taken. It also cuts down on bureaucracy between departments that can slow down the process of resolving an issue.

This system was more popular in the 1970s and 1980s according to Sunnyvale tutors, and has since lost momentum as a bona fide method for dealing with public safety matters. One of the more difficult parts of successfully running this system is finding personnel that can competently do all of the tasks required. When a candidate is found, the training is both expensive and time consuming, which is a drain on local government funding. These highly skilled and flexible individuals also demand a higher salary for their expertise. Only two cities including Sunnyvale are set up with this configuration in California, the other is Rohnert Park. This is the same country wide with a handful of cities in each state opting for this structure. The only exception where this configuration is in the majority is in the state of Michigan.
