Guam Public Safety

The protection from and prevention of events endangering the public's safety, such as crime and natural and manmade disasters, is a vital function of any government. Guam faces increased challenges in meeting the current public safety needs of the citizens, as well as the needs associated with the impending military buildup. We examined the ability of Guam's Police Department (GPD), Fire Department (GFD), and Homeland Security (GHS) to meet the safety and response needs of Guam's citizens and prepare for the increase in population.
