Modern semiautomatic pistols typically only have internal drop safeties. These prevent it from firing if dropped or while being shaken etc. Some are more elaborate and have magazine disconnect safeties (firearm will not fire when magazine is not in the weapon), a grip safety (firearm will not fire unless properly gripped), or trigger safety (an extra trigger, a second protrusion that must be depressed along with the trigger to fire it. Glock has these).
These are all passive safeties you have no control over.
Meanwhile some semiautomatic pistols have manual external safeties that you have to manually manipulate into either off or on. These prevent the trigger from causing the hammer to fall striking the firing pin. The reason these are typically not desired is because you want as few failing points on a firearm your life depends on. And the only safety you need is your brain.
Most any police issued pistol these days has no manual safety. You don't want an officer to die because they couldn't thumb the safety off in time. Most people who carry do not carry a firearm with a manual external safety either (some do).
