Citizens benefit from enhanced public safety and health standards in their communities due to better-prepared local enforcement personnel.
Key points

Training focuses on identifying public health threats (e.g., structural issues, environmental hazards) caused by code violations.
Priority for funding is given to areas where significant public health threats have already been identified.
