All police officers are "public safety officers," as public safety generally includes law enforcement, the fire service, and emergency medical services. Some cities and counties have "public safety departments," where officers are cross-trained both as law enforcement officers and as firefighters. Officers perform police duties when not actually engaged in fire service duties.
