Department of Emergency Services Council (DESAC)

On July 14, 2004 the Board of County Commissioners revised the Queen Anne’s County Code, Title 21 Public Safety, to include Article III, Department of Emergency Services.  This Article created the Emergency Services Advisory Council.

The Council is to advise the department on matters of policy regarding the provision for emergency services in the County; advise the department regarding equipment, standard operating procedures, protocols, medications and emergency services personnel education and training requirements; assist the department regarding emergency services public information and education; and submit to the department a report on the status of emergency services in the County.

The Council has a combination of members who are designated for appointment by the positions as well as three “consumer” members.
