Police said recruiting has strengthened: department staff reported 243 applications so far in the year and 16 new hires in 2025. At the time of the meeting, 10 recruits were in the academy (a November graduation date was cited), 12 candidates were in background checks and 26 active applications were being processed. Staff said the department has expanded outreach to military installations such as Fort Stewart and made more targeted advertising placements; the department reported a rise in certified and noncertified applicants.

On internal systems and transparency, police described work to implement ID Pro (referred to in the meeting as an I e Pro system) to track complaints, internal investigations, pursuits and discipline history and to provide a public-facing portal for complaint intake and status updates. Captain Haggerty was named as the point person working with IT on that implementation. Police said the public portal could accept complaints, confirm receipt and provide status updates, but noted the system's full public deployment date was not guaranteed by the 2025 target.

The department also reviews calls for service by patrol zone to inform staffing and patrol assignments; staff said zones are reviewed annually and may be adjusted as population and development patterns change (the department noted new growth off Sp 99 and Spur 29 as areas to watch). Community programs include an adult and youth citizens academy and quarterly commissioner neighborhood/patrol events; officers and command staff reported attending many stakeholder meetings to gather feedback.

Ending: Police leaders asked commissioners to continue supporting recruitment and technology investments; the department said it will refine performance measures once ID Pro and the county website are in place to support complaint intake and reporting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","QER Public Safety Strategic Planning and Performance Measures 8/12/2025","oneSentenceSummary","Police presenters reported recruitment improvements and ongoing work to implement a public-facing complaint and case-management system; the department also discussed patrol zone call reviews, citizen academies and community engagement activities.","taxTitle","Glynn County, Georgia","taxId",28533,"location","headline","shortSummary",{"_33":75,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":76,"_41":77,"_43":78,"_45":79,"_47":80,"_49":81,"_51":82,"_53":83,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":84,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":85,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6138547,"Glynn County Fire Rescue reports improved response times, outlines EMS outcomes and accreditation plans",1471,2968000,4439000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5582975-aeda492d979cf401aa1663252f8395be&start=2968&end=4439","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5582975-aeda492d979cf401aa1663252f8395be/thumbnail_2968000.jpg","/articles/6138547/Glynn-County/Georgia/Glynn-County-Fire-Rescue-reports-improved-response-times-outlines-EMS-outcomes-and-accreditation-plans","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6138547-899cd3be60261de60d3f4c2ffd9139ec/orig.mp4?Expires=1776562672&Signature=BT~IZoSPRilWVdBIN1aErnAUKolXZAChoWQbWMqaX08MmvPIXaz1n7qo-HgVB4ZwM1E-Ka3Ku6zsAkT8CVM7NKa8c7MAkTQikQi5Bs4SYPPYwKZiaQatXTbv5D0SwprvUjAHviMkHyYkSchVd9PRuaiDafmJmIklh4t8Cee-xdhUxM2Vc6PguTL786jlhZ~Uk0GgmsxpM8lx3leF4aPk8pxSStshN-P~1fEkIJ10pDuGZsMG9O8w7RZmu~ZSiq1OL7oaDuzgNblsphWYrAlIx2CRXz1-3ZW~SFF9KGMnNF2ORed9Y-pn6HPP-g2umpnhWixzK4YhA86M57BY~0Wzbg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Glynn County Fire Rescue officials presented third- and fourth-quarter performance measures showing improvements in turnout and response times, steady EMS monitoring rates and steps toward state certification and national accreditation.

Fire Rescue reported a modest year-over-year call-volume increase (about 3%) and noted July had been busier than the six-month average. The department said it recorded 9,550 incidents as of June 30 and reported higher totals in July. On EMS care, the department reported 99.2% of patients with cardiac complaints received ECG monitoring (12-lead, 4-lead or AED/cardioversion as applicable); staff said the shortfall is likely due to documentation issues.

On cardiac-arrest outcomes, the department reported a 19.2% rate of return of spontaneous circulation before hospital arrival, which falls within national study ranges. Fire Rescue emphasized that outcomes depend on early recognition, early bystander CPR/AED access and response intervals.

Fire containment performance (the percent of structure fires where flame spread was confined to the object or room of origin) was lower than the department's target; staff reported 18 of 53 building fires were confined to room of origin over six months and said notification and response timeliness affect that metric.

Response-time metrics were a highlight: turnout time (dispatch to en route) of 90 seconds or less during daytime was achieved for 81.6% of calls (target 75%), with an average turnout of 63 seconds. Nighttime turnout (extended standard) was at the 75% target; travel-time-to-arrival within five minutes was reported for 55.7% of incidents, a metric the department said is influenced by station locations and will likely improve with the planned opening of Station 9 at a busy zone on the Golden Isles side of the county.

Training and accreditation: Fire Rescue reported completing multiple multi-agency exercises (long-term-care tabletop, airport tabletop, evacuation exercise and others) and planning for more exercises tied to recently written plans (mass mortality, animals in disaster). The department is pursuing state certification and will pursue national accreditation through a recognized public-safety accreditation process; staff will send personnel to a fire-service accreditation manager class in October.

Recruitment and staffing: Fire Rescue reported recruitment success, expanding applicant pipelines and filling positions; the department reported 16 hires in 2025, multiple recruits in academy training with a November graduation date, and ongoing background processing for additional applicants. Staff attributed recruitment gains to targeted advertising and partnerships with installations such as Fort Stewart.

Ending: Fire leadership asked the commission for continued support as accreditation and station projects proceed and noted that completed initiatives will be folded into routine operations while other measures will be refined for the next strategic plan.","Fire Rescue presented quarterly performance measures showing faster turnout and strong EMS monitoring, discussed cardiac arrest outcomes, fire confinement rates, training exercises, station planning and steps toward state certification and national accreditation.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6138552,"Glynn County animal services reports mixed trends: fewer litters, more fosters, adoptions and mobile events constrained by staffing",1103,1857000,2960000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5582975-aeda492d979cf401aa1663252f8395be&start=1857&end=2960","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5582975-aeda492d979cf401aa1663252f8395be/thumbnail_1857000.jpg","/articles/6138552/Glynn-County/Georgia/Glynn-County-animal-services-reports-mixed-trends-fewer-litters-more-fosters-adoptions-and-mobile-events-constrained-by-staffing","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6138552-e014b5703111385a870f05ba3e6cf378/orig.mp4?Expires=1776562672&Signature=FWzeJXkXtMarjjzcCQPMm4b2vwWvsnIQ2P8fiE10GDN7exuRHNu1jaotwFf83xo9pchBi~LNUHkOS9-N7pVjVX4ma08dbzsdmVg7mDgX7Ix9plXO03wZfNnCASChTOJcMepdRbuFklOSC55W0KrMCdxF4OYW0EACkOGXtEcnKfHy2ZAMFDUNxaStYjPhiQGF6mSrou9yGEOlmaHJICO0HyzgbX0xALGw1eY3ccfwT0OA54zt5CZaUUfwyRy8wDoF91Q61Z6K2B03nQNe1PWrFJCc4lvC61fYTRfXMbxhO8MJQeeT0WXcBt3kDMD7QwI2u~Vtk91PYvkrcF7pP7N66Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Animal services director Lori Austin briefed commissioners on intake, transfer and adoption trends, and on proposed ordinance changes to reduce stray and surrendered animals. Austin said some months show fewer intakes and fewer litters of puppies and kittens, which staff attribute in part to microchipping, spay/neuter efforts and rescue placements.

The shelter's goal to reduce intakes remains \"on track,\" Austin said, but she added the monthly counts vary. She reported nine animals were pulled by rescues the morning of the meeting. Transfers to other rescues have fallen compared with last year because many rescues are full; Austin said the department recently placed a medical case with GRRR (Georgia Rehab and Rehabilitation Rescue) in Savannah when a Brantley County rescuer could not take more animals.

Foster placements have increased sharply: Austin said June had 49 fosters compared with 14 in the prior year and that many fostered animals proceed to adoption. The shelter reported it has exceeded its volunteer-count goal (258 volunteers vs. a goal reset to 200). Adoption numbers are down compared with some prior months; staff attributed that in part to fewer mobile-adoption events earlier in the year. The mobile unit was out of service until March due to generator problems, and staffing constraints limited event participation during peak summer months. Austin reported that with staffing returning to normal, more fall events are planned (fair, rodeo and other seasonal events) and she expects mobile adoption activity to increase.

On ordinance and policy changes, Austin said revised shelter ordinances were submitted to the county attorney two months earlier for review; she noted the city's rules would mirror county changes under the existing MOU. Austin recommended consideration of licensing tied to spay/neuter requirements or fee incentives to discourage overbreeding and abandonment.

Other metrics discussed included call volume for complaints (about 102 county / 44 city in the current period with some unknowns), return-to-owner rates tied to microchipping, and the need to track outcomes rather than just call counts. Commissioner discussion emphasized outreach and marketing for events; Austin said the department uses Facebook and partner event advertising to promote mobile-adoption and community events.

Ending: Commissioners asked staff to follow up with the county attorney on the ordinance review and for animal services to track more outcome-focused measures (for example, return-to-owner and disposition outcomes) alongside counts of calls and intakes.","Animal services told commissioners intakes are down in some months and microchipping and spay/neuter efforts are credited for fewer litters, while transfers to rescues are constrained because partner rescues are full; fosters are up and mobile adoption events were limited earlier by generator and staffing issues.",{"_33":99,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":100,"_41":101,"_43":102,"_45":103,"_47":104,"_49":105,"_51":106,"_53":107,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":108,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":109,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6138557,"Glynn County emergency management expands community information hubs, formalizes volunteer roles",1163,682000,1845000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5582975-aeda492d979cf401aa1663252f8395be&start=682&end=1845","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5582975-aeda492d979cf401aa1663252f8395be/thumbnail_682000.jpg","/articles/6138557/Glynn-County/Georgia/Glynn-County-emergency-management-expands-community-information-hubs-formalizes-volunteer-roles","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6138557-0c62992b8f640a7f10ea3c4606eb8052/orig.mp4?Expires=1776562672&Signature=TnI~1KIhRPHWi41IZmsdOE4MW0vBjGVLxUDY7WMGIlKso2rfmkeLPSCVEfiCB43tI9xIJOoAT7Plh~jEDQRcli8aZ6l5ZCWlqnl6czp6Hm4daZigKrkGOa17HKBm7kaWJKRyNRbT-iHWaIxt-2wiRaOAoJkXbIfc5vG6kb5T9ik3z~8evV6v7GQjCShqM3dBZO8813CYg092z9vw~kgs7EK~WBHBbYtX9SYPDJUBkYne0nl-ChsTBIJTpXD1NBDZrLc-UrzXdBUwkIFibRta51GWRARI2SlfLv2YMz5JzrM1Q4l02knq0zR7NmVsqmH5gB32pMl7rT8I3K~P9jtOgQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Glynn County's emergency management director reported that the county is expanding its network of community information hubs and formalizing volunteer roles to improve information sharing and disaster response ahead of the county's strategic plan finish in December 2026. The director said the county already operates community information hubs and is adding locations such as retail partners once letters of intent are in place.

The county's Emergency Management Agency (EMA) described the faith-based disaster network as a key effort: more than 30 faith organizations have signed on and EMA staff expect that number to grow. Director Andy said the hubs provide a place where, during widespread communications outages, people can find updates on sheltering, points of distribution, and where to obtain food and water. \"If there was a groupwide communications outage for an extended period of time, we would utilize these sites to share that information,\" Andy said during the meeting.

EMA reported it is integrating volunteers and the faith network into operations. Faith-based sites will largely be managed by their own staff; EMA's registered volunteers and CERT members will staff shelters, cooling and charging stations, and community information hubs when needed. EMA emphasized the distinction between a \"disaster event\" and a \"catastrophe\": in catastrophic scenarios many volunteers could themselves be affected and fewer would be reliably available. The director said historically roughly 10% of trained volunteers can be counted on during a catastrophe, citing similar experience in Columbia County but expressing guarded optimism that local hurricane-prone conditions might increase participation.

The agency described CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) and registered volunteer training as central to preparedness. EMA said it now runs near-monthly training and has about 200 registered volunteers who have passed background checks and are treated as \"trusted agents.\" Those volunteers receive vests and backpacks and are assigned roles such as shelter managers, community liaisons to incoming partner agencies (for example, chainsaw teams or mass-feeding groups), and damage assessment support.

EMA said it has completed a master set of emergency plans — mass fatality/mortality, animals in disaster and others — funded in part by FEMA direct administrative (DAC) money and other grant resources. The plans will be exercised before finalization and EMA expects up to 10 exercises next year tied to newly written plans. The director also noted work on FEMA reimbursements and coordination with the Red Cross and that some grant-related metrics may be revised as plans and exercises are completed.

Commissioners and EMA staff discussed outreach and community engagement: the agency reported meeting its goal for community activities (minimum 30 annually), noted partnerships with the city of Brunswick and businesses for outreach events and highlighted the Peraton/Lowe's partnership and a planned weather-radio event with Commissioner Slat. EMA said it will continue to refine performance measures, gray out completed initiatives and focus county assistance on items flagged yellow or red as the strategic plan approaches its end.

Ending: EMA staff requested brief written summaries of accomplishments for the strategic-plan record and said initiatives that are achieved may be transitioned to \"business as usual.\" The agency urged continued coordination with county IT, partners and the county attorney for pending agreements and letters of intent that will expand community information hub locations.","County emergency management reported progress on community information hubs, a faith-based disaster network, expanded CERT training and volunteer deployment plans as part of the county's strategic-plan performance measures ahead of the plan's December 2026 end date.","actionData","errors"]
