Chief Paul Sandman
The Highland Park Department of Public Safety is a unique blending of fire, police, and emergency medical services. Public Safety Officers are cross-trained in these three disciplines and engage in each of them daily. It is a demanding profession that requires highly qualified and motivated officers and a professional support staff. At the Highland Park Department of Public Safety we work hard each day to deliver the highest levels of service to the citizens of Highland Park regardless of the type of call.
Key Elements
There are two key elements in providing the high levels of service that the department delivers. First, it requires quality people with the highest ethical and moral standards and a desire to be of service to the community. Second, it requires rigorous education and training to be proficient at our jobs. Only by selecting the best people and providing the best training are we able to provide the best service.
