In response to requests for clarification on government obligations locally and in our region, our communications/multimedia team created this helpful graphic that overviews roles and responsibilities of governments in our state, county and city, especially as it pertains to public safety.

As you can see, government is a shared responsibility amongst multiple agencies and jurisdictions – we all must work together toward a common goal. And for our residents, it’s important to understand where your vote counts and how it impacts our lives as a whole.
