[edit] Which department?

Is this supposed to be a specific government agency, or just a typical government department that might go by the name 'Department of Public Safety', or other name? Peter Grey 06:10, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Canadian context

The Canadian and US situations probably don't belong in the same article. In Canada, Emergency Measures agencies do not deal with regular police/fire/ambualance emergency services, they deal with disaster reponse. And there isn't a single agency in Canada that uses the name 'Department of Public Safety'. Peter Grey 23:39, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pittsburgh

I've removed Pittsburgh PA from the "List of cities with Departments of Public Safety with fully cross-trained personnel" list as their public safety department provides various types of support services to separate Police, Fire and EMS agencies.

See the Pittsburgh Public Safety website

Public Safety assists the Bureaus of Police, Fire, Emergency Medical Services, and Building Inspection in the delivery of their services by providing administrative, financial, and technical support for core management functions.
