One of the states most fundamental duties is to protect its people, and we have always made this responsibility a top priority. In times of crisis, Alabamians can rest assured that the state will be as prepared as any in the country. We have made great strides in making Alabama a safer place to live, and we will never stop working to protect our citizens. Protecting Alabama, we believe, is best measured in terms of the indicators below.
