In these times of uncertainty in America, whether due to natural disaster, a terrorist-related event, or an accident, public safety is a matter of utmost concern to Mayor Ronald M. Serpico and  the Village of Melrose Park. Our Department and the Village are preparing, and equipping, for threats to public safety that may occur. Keeping you and your family safe, and providing resources and contacts for you to be able to make informed decisions, is the essence of Public Safety in Melrose Park.

Therefore, the Mission of the Melrose Park Public Safety is three fold, first is to provide to the community of Melrose Park a competent, professional well trained group of volunteers able to respond to any emergency situation that may require our assistance. Secondly is to provide to the residents of Melrose Park Dissemination of emergency preparedness and public information to lessen the impact from emergencies and to help the public be better prepared in the event of disaster or emergency.  Third to provide emergency response and mutual aid help to our surrounding towns, and as well as emergency response and mutual aid to MABAS Division XX.

Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses, some causing illness in people, and others that circulate among animals, including camels, cats, and bats. Rarely animal coronaviruses can evolve and infect people and then spread between people. Human coronaviruses are common throughout the world and commonly cause mild to moderate illness in people worldwide. However, the emergence of novel (new) coronaviruses, such as SARS and MERS, have been associated with more severe respiratory illness.
