Boca Raton Florida Is A Safe City For All

By Jozy Mozen


If you are looking for a safe city to live in, Boca Raton Florida is a viable option to consider. They have a system of citizen protection plans that are designed to deliver aid and assistance to those in need as well as deter any person intent on committing a crime from doing so. Both the police and fire departments partner with citizens and businesses to ensure the highest level of security for all citizens in the city.

This city boasts a crime rate that is lower than national and state averages especially in violent crime categories. This high rating has been continuous for several years and shows no signs of change in the near future. The low crime rate can be attributed to community involvement and several specialized programs designed to keep the citizens safe from criminals as well as other disasters.

The first thing that factors into the success of this department is the level of training that each officer receives prior to being allowed to patrol the streets. This same level of education continues throughout their entire career. When coupled with the community involvement level in this city the result is an amazingly low incidence of crime.

The police department partners with the entire community and other law enforcement agencies in a program named VIPER. This program uses the latest technology to blanket the city with a means to identify and resolve any situation quickly and efficiently. VIPER stands for visibility, intelligence, partnerships, education and resources. Combined they work to keep streets safe and people informed and alert to possible problems they may encounter.

The VIPER Program has installed cameras in the city on buildings, businesses and traffic signals to help identify problems. They are also tied into many private security systems and interior systems in businesses. They use this program in concert with community outreach programs to educate citizens and keep them informed regarding criminal activity such as car thefts and break ins.

The city fire department has eight locations to serve the city. Their outreach programs cover safety measures private citizens need to take to insure fire safety as well as carbon monoxide poisoning. They give these presentations at schools, social clubs and neighborhood meetings. Another part of their jobs pertain to inspection of public buildings for proper fire control equipment and prevention measures.

This city also has a state of the art EMS program. Each of the eight stations has a vehicle designed to be first responder in a medical emergency. The two man teams that attend incidents are trained as paramedics and their equipment includes the finest lifesaving and monitoring devices available. The fire department also has seven vehicles that are equipped to transport victims if necessary.

The fire and police departments dedication to the people they serve can be seen in the time and energy that these men and women put into reaching the community. They use every tool available to ensure safe and peaceful living for their residents and business owners. The combination of these two agencies and the population that is involved in safeguarding this city it may seem as though the entire populace is involved in keeping this a safe place to live.
