	Committee of Public Safety - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Committee of Public Safety (French: Comité de salut public), set up by the National Convention on April 6, 1793, formed the de facto executive government of France during the Reign of Terror (1793 - 1794) of the French Revolution.
		Under war conditions and with national survival seemingly at stake, the Jacobins under Robespierre centralized denunciations, trials, and executions under the supervision of this committee of twelve members.
		The committee was responsible for thousands of executions, most by the guillotine, in what was known as the "Reign of Terror." Frenchmen were executed for little or no reason, although most were accused of anti-revolutionary activity.

		In March of 2002 the Public Safety Advisory Committee was formed by the Town Council and charged with the task of assessing overall structure, manning levels, and funding requirementfor the municipal departments responsible forproviding public safety support for the Town of Dexter.
		The Committee recommends that a concerted effort be made during the next budget cycle to increase compensation for junior officers and patrolmen to a level equivalent to the state average for communities comparable to Dexter.
		In the current economic environment the Committee fully recognized the cost burden associated with maintaining public safety agencies, but we also concluded that the retention of such service is vital to the future growth and welfare of the community.

	Public Safety - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This is an article about the modern meaning of the term "public safety." See the Committee of Public Safety for the French Revolutionary governing body.
		Public Safety involves the protection of the general population from all manners of significant danger, injury, damage or harm, such as may occur in a natural disaster, and the prevention of the same.
		Although this protection is provided by those traditional organizations known as Emergency Services: the police, fire and rescue, and ambulance, in the preventative sense "public safety" must be the priority of all those who, in any way, engineer circumstances for others.

	Northern Ireland Assembly - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The prosecution offered no evidence "in the public interest." Afterwards, Denis Donaldson, one of those arrested, said that the "charges should never have been brought" as the police action was "political." On 17 December 2005, Donaldson publicly confirmed that he had been a spy for British intelligence since the early 1980s.
		The chairs and deputy chairs of the committees are chosen by party nominating officers under a procedure similar to that used to appoint members of the Executive.
		Ordinary committee members are not appointed under this procedure but the Standing Orders require that the share of members of each party on a committee should be roughly proportionate to its share of seats in the Assembly.

		Public Attitudes: While big public scandals about police abuses can lead to public support for oversight structures, in countries facing high crime rates there may be a higher level of public tolerance for ‘aggressive policing’ and the abuses that are often associated with it.
		The Civilian Oversight Committee In July of 2003 the council passed a motion that the Chief of Police be authorised to establish an ‘interim’ Civilian Oversight Committee.
		Essentially, the composition of the committee should be determined by inter alia its terms of reference, criteria for membership, and the members’ terms of office. Given the lack of clarity on committee composition, the issue of membership has been a difficult one to resolve.

	PlanetPapers - French Revolution - Motives of Committee of Public Safety
		The terror was their weapon, with which to establish and restructure areas of education, war and munitions, provisioning and supply, and ultimately change the very principles and traditions daily life relied upon.
		This highlights the reasons the Committee were a highly powerful and influential organization, and that laws passed gave them powers to further establish their ideology and establish French society through Jacobin ideals.
		In summary, the Committee did have motives other than their assigned mission: as whilst they did reap “war on tyrants hoarders and aristocrats” to help reestablish the republic, they also aimed at a complete cultural and social change with the introduction of “an official ideology”, hence the reference to the period as a “cultural revolution”.
