Fire Department Recruitment & Retention
Fire Department Recruitment
Worked as part of the Recruitment and retention team within the Snyder Fire Department to design and develop new strategies for membership recruitment, including creating the Snyder Fire Department Duty Shift Program in collaboration with various stakeholders.
The process was managed from conception to implementation with a focus on delivering a sustainable product for the Fire Department - an effective program designed to recruit new volunteer Members wh can volunteer when their busy schedules allow, changing the narrative of always having to be ready or living in the primary district.

Creating and Revising Policy and Procedures
Operational Policies and Procedures
Through my work with the Snyder Fire Department and UB|MD Emergency Medicine, I have been part of several committees and groups dedicated to creating or revising policies, procedures, and guidelines.
This work has included researching and developing new policies such as Severe/Extreme Weather Response Guidelines as part of the State Emergency Medical Services Council (SEMSCO) Safety Subcommittee. Additionally I have been active in researching Artificial Intelligence (AI) use in Fire and EMS responses.
As a Captain in the Snyder Fire Department, I have worked on revising and updating current policies, as well as drafting new polcieis and procedures and incorporating these into Training items.
