Forget the Marvel characters. Our country needs real-life superheroes to protect us in the face of danger. If you desire a career that involves an exciting day-to-day work life, while giving back to your community, you may want to consider pursuing a degree in public safety. But what is public safety, exactly? And what does this field entail? Here, we will explore this topic so you can decide whether public safety is the right career path for you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is Public Safety?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>At a high level, public safety involves protecting the public \u2014 safeguarding people from crimes, disaster, and other potential dangers and threats. In the United States, public safety is the dedicated responsibility of certain government organizations and local departments. Think police officers, security agents, emergency response teams, fire forces, parole officers, and more. No matter the role, the primary goal of public safety professionals is to prevent danger and to protect the wellbeing of citizens, communities, and organizations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is the Public Safety Career Path?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you can see yourself working in a role that keeps others out of harm\u2019s way, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodwin.edu\/majors\/public-safety\/career-options\">public safety career<\/a> may be for you. Perhaps you see yourself working in Homeland Security, protecting our borders from outside threats. Or, maybe you have a passion for solving murder mysteries and dream of becoming a detective. Law enforcement and other public safety professionals play a key role in our society. Some careers in the public safety field include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Computer Security<\/li>\n<li>Corrections<\/li>\n<li>Customs and Border Protection<\/li>\n<li>Cyber Crime Investigation<\/li>\n<li>Drug Enforcement Agency<\/li>\n<li>Emergency Management<\/li>\n<li>Fire Science<\/li>\n<li>First Responders<\/li>\n<li>Immigration and Customs Enforcement<\/li>\n<li>Law Enforcement<\/li>\n<li>Security<\/li>\n<li>Transportation Security Administration<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>While some of these roles involve risk, they are certainly rewarding in their own rite. First responders come to the rescue when anyone is hurt or facing an emergency. TSA officials ensure safe travel to and from. Emergency Management professionals make sure we are prepared for national disasters. Just how are you going to land one of these incredible careers? While these all have their own set of requirements, you will want to start with step one \u2013 a great education.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A Degree in Public Safety<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A public safety degree can open the doors to a career that you are passionate about. And, it is what many employers \u2013 federal agencies, as well local departments \u2013 are looking for in job candidates. A bachelor\u2019s degree program, like the one at Goodwin College, puts a focus on the skills and knowledge that is required in the public safety profession. Some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodwin.edu\/majors\/public-safety\/bs-degree-curriculum\">courses<\/a> include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Grant writing<\/li>\n<li>Public policy analysis<\/li>\n<li>Research methodology<\/li>\n<li>Risk assessment<\/li>\n<li>Safety and security planning<\/li>\n<li>Cross-cultural psychology<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>An advanced public safety program helps students learn and apply their learnings to real-world settings and dedicated career paths. The program at Goodwin College is interdisciplinary, meaning students can choose to advance through with a specialty focus \u2013 either Criminal Justice or Homeland Security.<\/p>\n<p>The Criminal Justice track emphasizes criminal investigation, criminal procedure, and the development of the criminal justice system. Homeland Security focuses on emergency planning, personal and physical security, as well as the National Incident Management System.<\/p>\n<p>While not all public safety career paths require a college degree, it can certainly help you prepare for and stand out among the competition. Employers of security officers and police officers, for example, do not generally require a degree, but the coursework of the program will certainly help launch a career for those just starting out. On the other hand, many federal agencies and advanced public safety roles \u2013 which come with great earning potential \u2013 require at least a bachelor\u2019s degree.<\/p>\n<p>Emergency Management Directors, for example, typically need a bachelor\u2019s degree, as well as several years\u2019 experience in disaster planning, emergency response, or public administration. There\u2019s good reason for it, too. EMDs lead response teams during and after emergencies \u2013 saving lives and preventing further damage. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, EMDs earn a median salary of $74,420 per year. This is one of those great careers that offers a mix of reward and challenge.<\/p>\n<p>A career-focused school like Goodwin College can help you land a dream job that fulfills you personally and professionally, and helps you reach success.
