The Public Safety session of Leadership Crawford County provides participants with a firsthand understanding of the individuals and systems dedicated to keeping our community safe. Throughout the day, class members engage with local law enforcement, fire and rescue teams, emergency medical services, and other safety professionals to explore how these agencies collaborate and respond to community needs. The session offers an inside look at emergency preparedness, crisis response, and the evolving challenges facing public safety today. Participants leave with a deeper appreciation for the commitment of our first responders and a clearer understanding of how strong leadership and community support contribute to a safer Crawford County.
