LEO to LERO to HERO: The rise of rescue-based policing
Public safety is due for a refresh—both in how professionals view their roles and how they are perceived by the public. Whether in law enforcement, fire services, or EMS, all branches share a common mission: to serve the public by addressing urgent and persistent challenges that exceed an individual’s resources, thus triggering the call to 911. The future of public safety depends on increased collaboration across disciplines, and the overlap between law enforcement and EMS presents a strong starting point. The Law Enforcement Rescue Officer (LERO) model serves as a bridge to support and strengthen that connection.
