Extra help is coming to Montgomery County as the Sheriff’s Department officially launches its EMS division.

The launch will start this Monday, March 4.

The newly established EMS division will operate 7 days a week from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

It will bring additional jobs to the county, as staffing will be needed.

The primary objective of this initiative is to provide timely and quality service to those in need, while supplementing the efforts of the county’s EMS partners.

The ambulance will be staffed by Sheriff’s Office employees and stationed at the Public Safety Facility in Fultonville.
