Public safety is a term used to describe the administration of justice, public order, and protection. This can include legal services, the courts, police, fire, correctional, and parole institutions, as well as investigative and security services. Public safety nationwide is projected to add more than 364,000 jobs by 2020. About a third of the new jobs created will be in government, while another 40% will be in the investigation and security services industry. Private detectives and investigators, security guards, forensic science technicians, paralegals, and firefighters, are among the fastest growing jobs in public safety. Renewed national interest in public safety and security should help expand opportunities for employment in this sector. Numerous job openings will stem from employment growth attributable to the desire for increased corporate, industrial, and homeland security.
For anyone who plans to enter the job market in this field, a strong knowledge base in English, psychology, and science, along with active listening, social perceptiveness, and critical thinking, are a must.
