5 Role of Local Government One of the most basic functions of any government is to provide for the safety and security of its residents. To have an impact on current public safety problems and avoid greater problems in the future, municipal leaders must shift how they think and act. Seeing community safety as a basic human right, good governance insists that local government leaders bear the primary responsibility for fostering safe and healthy communities.
