The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office launched its EMS division on Monday.

The new division will feature an ambulance staffed by sheriff’s office employees.

The project came after nearly two and a half years of planning.
It will operate seven days a week from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

The sheriff’s office is still looking for staff to fill out the program, they said.

Officials want to supplement the county’s EMS partners.

The new EMS division will be stationed at the public safety facility in Fultonville.
