The city is experiencing a heat wave, and many of its citizens do not have air conditioning. What is the responsibility of the peace officer in this scenario?

During a heat wave, a peace officer’s responsibility is to help protect public safety by checking on people who may be vulnerable, especially those without air conditioning. Welfare checks can identify anyone in immediate danger and connect them with appropriate assistance. Providing sunscreen, fans, or bags of ice is not the officer’s general responsibility in this scenario.
