Public Safety includes the essential services of policeand fire personnel, along with a wide variety of ancillary services, which help to make Pomona asafe and desirable place in which to live. Developmental Services focus on the City’s future,in the continuing effort to bring form to the vision of our local residents, while also serving as akey component in the realization of the City Council’s goals.
