STATEMENT OF BASIC PHILOSOPHY
Only through county partnership with other levels of government can a comprehensive approach to crime and public safety issues be undertaken within the American system of federalism. Counties must increasingly look to the federal government for substantial financial assistance; to the states for coordination of state and local crime and public safety programs as well as appropriate statutory authorizations and a measure of financial assistance; and to their sister municipal governments and regional agencies for cooperative and coordinated local approaches to these
problems. There is an evident need for comprehensive planning in order to bring about a more rational approach to problem-solving in all areas of the public safety enterprise. Counties must exercise a strong leadership role in this regard.
