Director of Operations

The Director of Operations oversees daily operations. Our DO is Mike Shannon. He can be contacted at 227-2073 Ext. 2 for information and to request non-emergency services.

Other Administrative Duties

The other administrative jobs are handled by volunteers (active or auxiliary members) who donate their free time and by duty crews between emergency calls. Volunteer or paid staff members are appointed by the board of directors or the director of operations to the myriad of tasks necessary to keep the corps operating efficiently.
