<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;color:#000000;">Police officers, firefighters, and other public safety and law enforcement officers provide necessary services to the community and their work deeply connects them to the people they serve. Quite often, these professionals put their own safety in jeopardy to guard the safety and well-being of citizens, to protect their private property, and to guard vital institutions.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;color:#000000;">Public safety and law enforcement organizations include emergency management agencies, fire departments, rescue services, emergency medical technicians, departments of motor vehicles who administer driver’s licenses and conduct vehicle inspections, and animal control units. Employees of these organizations come face to face with the daily conflicts and crimes that occur on the streets of our cities and neighborhoods. These vary from littering and noise pollution to property damage, trespassing, burglary, domestic violence and other forms of improper social behavior. In the United States, The Department of Homeland Security is the federal agency responsible for public safety and for federal emergency services rendered through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). FEMA works proactively to mitigate the impact of disasters such as earthquakes, floods and hurricanes.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;color:#000000;">Public safety and law enforcement officers play an important role during natural and manmade disasters to save lives and support the stabilization of communities in difficult times when people are suffering from personal injury, or the loss of their relatives, homes and other valued possessions. Preparedness is an important aspect of their training. This enabled them to respond quickly and efficiently and to provide well-coordinated and effective incident support and disaster relief.</span></p>

Description
An account of the resource
When Arthur Woods was a journalist, his articles about the local police caught their interest, and they soon recruited him as a Deputy. He believed in not only educating officers, such as encouraging them to be taught classes on law, sociology, and physical education, but also in educating the public, as he published the first safety booklet available to the public. In continuing education for both groups, he established an official police academy in New York. He worked with the “Italian Squad”, a police group composed of Italian-Americans, to break up gangs and labor racketeering. In his first year as Commissioner, he arrested over 200 criminals during the Labor Slugger.

<h3><strong>The Straus Family: A History of Public Service and Philanthropy (G-2)</strong></h3>
Description
An account of the resource
Beginning in the 19th Century and continuing into the 20th, members of the Straus Family have served in governmental positions at the federal and local levels. More particularly, family members have served in the House of Representatives, as Ambassadors, and as Presidential Cabinet Members. By virtue of their positions, as well as a consequence of their acting as advisors and confidants to a number of American Presidents, family members have been actively involved in the formulation of American public policy for well over 100 years.<br /> <br />Furthermore, in the context of American finance and commerce, family members were the owners of Macy's for nearly 100 years. In addition to their participation in the commercial development of the City of New York and America in general, family members have been in a position to assist others less fortunate throughout this period of time. Members of the family have served on the boards of innumerable philanthropic organizations. As a consequence of the family's involvement in this broad spectrum of American life, the family exemplifies and brings to life the true American story and its spirit.<br /> <br />Thus, it is not so much the story of one family that is sought to be told, but rather the American experience as seen through and lived by a family during this period of growth of America.<br /> <br />Source: <a href="http://www.straushistoricalsociety.org/"><strong>www.straushistoricalsociety.org</strong></a>

Description
An account of the resource
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;color:#000000;">Nathan Straus Jr. (1889-1961) was the son of Nathan and Lina Gutherz Straus. He was not interested in going into the family's business of merchandising. He graduated from Princeton University in New Jersey in 1910 and, with his father's help, secured a position on the newspaper, <em><span style="font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;">New York Globe</span></em>, where he learned everything from compositing to reporting. In 1913 he bought the periodical <em><span style="font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;">Puck</span></em>, which he envisioned could become similar to today's <em><span style="font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;">New Yorker Magazine. </span></em>Puck published articles about women's suffrage, financial and social assistance, and medical science.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;color:#000000;">By 1920, with a wife and four sons to support, Nathan Jr. began thinking about public service. He ran for, and won, a seat in the New York State Legislature in 1920 and was reelected in 1922 and 1924. The Citizen's Union, a non-partisan organization, reported that Nathan Straus Jr. was the member with the best record on votes in either House.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;color:#000000;">Nathan Jr. inherited a 24 acre tract of land on the Boston Post Road in the Bronx following his parent's death. In 1934 he turned it into the country's first housing project, Hillside Homes. As a result of his involvement in this project, he became interested in housing. People in the United States knew little about modern housing techniques as practiced in many countries in Europe. He created a report for Mayor LaGuardia of New York on the housing practices in England. As a result of his interest and increasing expertise in this area, LaGuardia appointed him to the New York City Housing Authority. Nathan Jr. felt this experience prepared him for his later role as administrator of the United States Housing Authority in Franklin Delano Roosevelt's administration. He served with distinction from 1937 until February 1942.</span></p>

Description
An account of the resource
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;color:#000000;">Bernard Mannes Baruch was a U.S. financier, stock-market speculator, statesman, and political consultant. After his success in business, Baruch devoted his time toward advising U.S. Presidents Woodrow Wilson and Franklin D. Roosevelt on economic matters, and also became a philanthropist.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;color:#000000;">Baruch first walked the halls of the then College of the City of New York on the site of 17 Lexington Avenue as just one in a crowd of three hundred entering students. None could have guessed that his alma mater would eventually bear the name of this distinguished alumnus.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;color:#000000;">Baruch was the son of a German immigrant and an impoverished southern belle, the second of four children born in Camden, South Carolina in 1870. Moving to New York City at the age of ten, he struggled to adjust to his new surroundings. At the age of fourteen, he began his studies at the College of the City of New York (in those times there were no public high schools and a student could go directly to college if he met the entrance requirements). To save money he would walk the roughly forty blocks every day from his home on 60th street, saving a dime weekly; his entire allowance being only a quarter a week. His college days were a time of intellectual enlightenment as his knowledge of the world grew he too grew from a rather frail boy into a six foot three man of athletic build. After graduation, Baruch became a runner on Wall Street, trying to learn as much as he could about business, and become a partner at the age of twenty five at A.A. Housman & Company.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;color:#000000;">As the twentieth century progressed, Baruch’s fortune increased, and he began to want something more out of life. His father’s words always made him reflect on the direction his life was taking, "<em><span style="font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;">I could not forget my father’s look the day I proudly informed him I was worth a million dollars. The kindly, quizzical expression told me, more clearly than words, that in his opinion, money making was a secondary matter…</span></em> <em><span style="font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;">Of what use to a man are millions of dollars unless he does something worthwhile with them."</span></em></span></p>

<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;color:#000000;">An early black and white photograph of the New York Public Library, before the famous lion statues were put in place. People and trolleys go back and forth.<br /> <br />The New York Public Library has a little bit of everything in its past and present, given that it’s the world’s second biggest library with over 50 million items inside. With its small origins in 1854, efforts by philanthropists such as Andrew Carnegie and James Lennox helped merge it into several libraries to form one building. Originally people had to pay admission to enter the library, until the governor of New York, Samuel J. Tilden bequeathed the remains of his fortune so that anyone could enter and look for books for free. This library has been of use to many, including the military, which used the extensive maps during the world wars. Today, it is a National Historic Landmark, and thanks to many renovations, includes special rooms for specific authors.<br /><br /><strong><em>Rose Main Reading Room<br /><br /></em></strong>A photograph of a portion of the interior of the New York Public Library in New York City, featuring the Rose Main Reading Room.<br /><br />The New York Public Library, otherwise known as the Stephen A. Schwarzman Library, is the third largest library in North America, housing over 65 million items in its collection, consisting of 87 smaller libraries, and serving over 3.5 million people. The library is the most comprehensive library collection that has ever been brought together for the free use of the public. Organized into more than 100 major topics, the collections range from "Accents and Dialects" to "Baseball", "Computer Science", "Judaica", and "Theatre", with everything else in between. The library's strengths in three areas in particular is so great that major facilities have been built to house them: performing arts at the Lincoln Center, black culture in Harlem, and science, industry, and business in midtown Manhattan. <br /><strong><em><br /></em></strong><br /></span></p>

An account of the resource
<p><em><strong>"We all have an obligation as citizens of this earth to leave the world a healthier, cleaner, and better place for our children and future generations."</strong></em></p>
<p>-Blythe Danner, American Actress<br /> <br />Public health focuses on protecting and improving the human condition, and prolonging life. It necessitates public investment in education, promotion of healthy lifestyles, and research for disease and injury prevention, among others. Public health agencies at both state and local levels are central to effective public health and health care systems. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), such systems involve “all public, private, and voluntary entities that contribute to the delivery of essential public health services within a jurisdiction.”</p>
<p>Elected officials and law enforcement officers play an important role in the development and regulation of public health and healthcare policy. A number of public health professionals, strive every day delivering services to protect the health of our families and communities, whether working in hospitals, nursing homes, emergency management services, schools or mental health facilities. Volunteers from charitable and philanthropic organizations also contribute a lot to ensure that public health and health care goals are met in places where resource constraints might present impediments. CDC also places emphasis on the important role of youth development organizations, recreation and arts-related organizations in supporting public health.</p>
<p>CDC has formulated a set of 10 essential public health and health care services that provide the framework for determining how well a jurisdiction is doing at assessing the performance of its system. Broadly these fit under policy development, assurance, and assessment. They include monitoring the public’s health status, investigating and diagnosing health problems, public awareness, enforcing laws and regulations that support public health and health care efforts, assuring a competent workforce, and continuous research and innovation to keep abreast of health problems.</p>
In the additional resources section to the right is a collection of related public service narratives <em>"Ask me why I care,"</em>under <em>"Tell your story." </em>They were curated by the University of Nebraska at Omaha College of Public Affairs and Community Service in a Public Service Stories Project. Project Co-Directors are Dr. Mary Hamilton and Ms. Rita Paskowitz.

Description
An account of the resource
In 1867, 495,000 people in New York City were living in tenement buildings. Overcrowding (in some areas, a population density of 240,000 people per square mile) led to poor sanitation, which in turn led to cholera and typhoid outbreaks. To remedy these problems, the Council of Hygiene and Public Health in New York City pushed for legislation on the first housing codes in the United States.
In addition to setting dimensions for building lots and construction requirements, these regulations required that one toilet must be available for every 20 people. It also regulated provisions such as fire escapes. Such provisions were created not only to improve public health, but also to create clean living and working environments so that people could "become better citizens."
With this came the creation of the Tenement House Act of 1867, which helped raise awareness about the conditions of the tenements.

An account of the resource
<em><strong>"I was having a better time at my job than were those of my peers who had opted for private practice. Life as a public servant was more interesting. The work was more challenging. The encouragement and guidance from good mentors was more genuine. And the opportunities to take initiative and to see real results were more frequent." </strong></em><br /> <br />- Sandra Day O'Connor, U.S. Supreme Court Justice<br /> <br />The United States’ civil justice and investigative services give people a fair chance to receive justice through legal processes. The U.S. is renowned for having one of the most sophisticated criminal justice and investigative systems in the world and it is remarkable how this system operates successfully across a country as large and diverse as the U.S.. One of the keys to this success is a balanced and carefully ordered hierarchy: several different federal courts control issues relating to federal law and each state has its own set of courts that can adapt to the needs of its people for criminal justice and investigative services. Because of the civil justice system, our cars are safer, the environment is cleaner, and foods and medicines are safer.<br /> <br />The U.S. criminal justice system comprises courts, corrections, defense attorneys, prosecution and law enforcement. The courts are supervised by judges who are responsible for ensuring that the law of the land is correctly interpreted and applied. Corrections oversee convicted offenders. Defense attorneys represent the accused against prosecutors, who represent the state or federal government. Prosecutors are lawyers whose task it is to review evidence brought to then by law-enforcement, they then present that evidence to the court concerning a particular trial. It is the role of the law-enforcement officers to take reports of crimes that occur in their precincts, gather and protect evidence, arrest offenders and give testimony in court during trials.<br /> <br />(Source: National Center for Victims of crime: The Criminal Justice System <a href="http://www.victimsofcrime.org/help-for-crime-victims/get-help-bulletins-for-crime-victims/the-criminal-justice-system"><strong>http://www.victimsofcrime.org/help-for-crime-victims/get-help-bulletins-...</strong></a>)

Description
An account of the resource
In college, Jane Bolin was surrounded by white male students who would ignore her, and her career advisor told her to stop pursing her judicial dreams. She promptly ignored all the obstacles in her way, and became the first African-American woman to graduate from Yale Law School, the first to join the New York City Bar Association, and the first to join the New York City Law Department. She was officially appointed as a judge the New York World’s Fair on July 22, 1939 and would serve on the bench until she was forced to retire at age 70. As a member of the NAACP, she strived to create racial equality in all of her causes. She encouraged such equality in child services, ensured that probation officers were hired without regard to religion or race, and funded childcare agencies that would help children regardless of race.

<p></p>
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;color:#000000;">Public safety and law enforcement organizations include emergency management agencies, fire departments, rescue services, emergency medical technicians, departments of motor vehicles who administer driver’s licenses and conduct vehicle inspections, and animal control units. Employees of these organizations come face to face with the daily conflicts and crimes that occur on the streets of our cities and neighborhoods. These vary from littering and noise pollution to property damage, trespassing, burglary, domestic violence and other forms of improper social behavior. In the United States, The Department of Homeland Security is the federal agency responsible for public safety and for federal emergency services rendered through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). FEMA works proactively to mitigate the impact of disasters such as earthquakes, floods and hurricanes.</span></p>

<p><em>Chief Edward F. Crocker, FDNY, 1908</em></p>
Jay Jonas, FDNY Battalion Chief: "I try to put it in historical perspective for people: Prior to September 11th, the New York City Fire Department in 136 years of existence lost 752 firemen in the line of duty. During six years of bombing in World War II, the London Fire Brigade lost about 400 people. Prior to September 11th, the largest life-loss the New York City Fire Department experienced was 12 in one incident and that was in 1966. On September 11th, we lost 343 people in 28 minutes."

<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;color:#000000;">Police officers, firefighters, and other public safety and law enforcement officers provide necessary services to the community and their work deeply connects them to the people they serve. Quite often, these professionals put their own safety in jeopardy to guard the safety and well-being of citizens, to protect their private property, and to guard vital institutions.</span></p>

<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Helvetica, sans-serif;color:#000000;">Public safety and law enforcement organizations include emergency management agencies, fire departments, rescue services, emergency medical technicians, departments of motor vehicles who administer driver’s licenses and conduct vehicle inspections, and animal control units. Employees of these organizations come face to face with the daily conflicts and crimes that occur on the streets of our cities and neighborhoods. These vary from littering and noise pollution to property damage, trespassing, burglary, domestic violence and other forms of improper social behavior. In the United States, The Department of Homeland Security is the federal agency responsible for public safety and for federal emergency services rendered through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). FEMA works proactively to mitigate the impact of disasters such as earthquakes, floods and hurricanes.</span></p>

<p><strong><em>Our Nation’s communities need your protection, and I find great comfort in your selflessness and bravery.</em></strong></p>
<p><em>Vice President Joseph R. Biden, Jr.</em></p>
The first law-enforcement officer began to patrol the trails and paths of New York City when it was…a Dutch settlement and fort in the year 1625. This lawman was...charged with keeping the peace, settling minor disputes, and warning colonists if fires broke out at night…. When the High Constable of New York City, Jacob Hays retired from service in 1844, permission was granted by the Governor…to create a Police Depart-ment. A force of approximately 800 men under the first Chief of Police, George W. Matsell, began to patrol the City in July of 1845.
