The Public Protection Department is composed of seven divisions providing services to the visitors and residents of Volusia County who are impacted most traumatically during emergencies resulting from accident, illness, loss of property or life. The department attempts to mitigate the effects of those events through effective planning (Emergency Management), appropriate preventive actions (Animal Control, Beach Safety and Fire Prevention), as well as prompt and efficient response to emergencies (Beach Safety, Emergency Medical Services and Fire Services). The department also meets statutory responsibilities as required for Corrections and the Medical Examiner.
The Emergency Services Institute and the Strategic Reserve are examples of programs within the Public Protection Department that cross division lines, pulling together multiple resources to elevate service delivery within the divisions, thereby enhancing their services to the public.
