A public servant is someone who works for the government, which in the United States means the people, or the public. Politicians are public servants, when they are in office. Anyone you might come in contact with as a representative of a federal, state, or local government is a public servant--tax auditors, court clerks, sheriffs, judges, code enforcement officers, and, in a limited way, teachers and police officers. Teachers and police officers work for the government, but they do not provide services at the demand of the public.
There are too many kinds of public servants to list--and they all work for you ( and me ). Check a government directory if you are interested.
