You're never safe anywhere. And in my limited tenure as an Arbiter, I understood that it was an Arbiter's job to enforce the Laws. The main one being: if someone attacks someone else in a city, then that person dies. I don't believe it is the Arbiter's job to "protect" anyone, and they aren't set up with abilities to offer any sort of protection. What they do is try to kill the guy that killed you. That might be a slight deterrent, but its not qualifiable as protection as I understand protection. But if we get into that we'll first have to define what the meaning of the word "is" is...
