"Como a prefeitura está tratando a política de segurança pública?"

Translation: How is the city hall dealing with the public safety policy?

[Libor]

town hall should have been accepted

Why is "politics" not accepted for "politica". It is given in the hints and it makes perfect sense in the sentence.

[Rossito1234]

Still not accepted!

I have never seen "prefeiture" used to describe "city hall" or
"the mayor's office".

Have a look through some of these translations of "a prefeitura" taken from various sources: http://context.reverso.net/translation/portuguese-english/a%20prefeitura. "City Hall", "Town Hall" and "Mayor's Office" all get a mention together with a few other possibilities.

Thanks for your excellent link. I had forgotten about " the city" as a reference to local government. In NY, you hear "the mayor's office" when referring to policy directives.

Further, most of the time I would be comfortable without the definite article before "public safety policy".

Exactly. It looks as if DL software provided a literal translation. Articles are more used more often in Portuguese than in English.
