| Citizen Corps Volunteer Partners
The mission of Citizen Corps is to harness the power of every individual through education, training, and volunteerism to make communities safer, stronger, and better prepared for the threats of terrorism, crime, public health issues, and disasters. DC Citizen Corps programs train volunteers in crime prevention, emergency preparedness, mitigation, and response to all hazards—crime, terrorism, natural, technological and man-made disasters. The programs offer the following community benefits:
- Reduced burden on first responder services (e.g. police, fire and emergency medical services)
- Well trained, better informed, and better prepared citizens to take care of themselves and others during times of crisis—allowing first responders to address the most critical needs
