TRAINING DAY: A behind-the-scenes look at how we stay ready to respond Training remains the cornerstone of our operational efficiency and effectiveness. We invest in being as prepared as possible to respond to any type of call and navigate challenging circumstances. Whether it’s bi-monthly training or specialized annual exercises, giving sworn and professional staff the opportunity to enhance their knowledge and skill allows us to better serve our community. Take a look at some behind-the-scenes photos of training conducted throughout the Department in recent months.

The Emergency Management Division led the 2024 County Tabletop Exercise at the County Administrative South building this fall to test the county’s preparedness for a large-scale emergency. This training was the first in a series and the Emergency Management Division will hold its successive functional exercise April 30.
