REALIGNMENT OF DIVISION CHIEFS and RESCUE OPERATIONS OVERSIGHT

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Recently we evaluated the current roles and responsibilities of Division Chiefs and realigned oversight of shifts and special programs. These changes were made based on Division Chief input and business needs of the organization.  Division Chief Pete Didonato w ill continue oversight of A Shift and assume responsibilities for Special Events.  Division Chief Eric Jakubauskas w ill continue oversight of B Shift, Scheduling, Tactical, Blood Draw and Honor Guard.  Division Chief Adam Johnson w ill assume oversight of C Shift and continue responsibilities of Emergency Management.  Division Chief Wes Hopkins w ill assume oversight of D Shift and continue responsibilities in Fleet and Facilities.  Division Chief Ed Piker w ill assume oversight of the Community Health Paramedic program and Education Wellness and Employee Development.

Oversight for Rescue Operations will be handled accordingly:

 Day-to-day operations will be the responsibility of the Division Chief over the shift

 Training will be coordinated through EDWD

 Equipment will be Division Chief Wes Hopkins

 Deployments will be coordinated through Emergency Management

Thank You,

Teresa Gardner, Assistant Chief - Operations
