Renee Crick named interim EMA director; will split time with 9-1-1 duties
Summary
Clinton County announced the interim appointment of Renee Crick — current director of Clinton County 9-1-1 central dispatch — to lead the county's Emergency Management Agency while the county defines a long-term structure.
Clinton County commissioners announced on June 17 that Renee Crick, director of Clinton County 9-1-1 central dispatch, will serve as the interim director of the county’s Emergency Management Agency.
Commissioners said Crick brings 35 years of public-safety experience and 15 years leading central dispatch. "I'm looking forward to this new challenge," Crick told commissioners, adding she plans to "build our EMA and become more active in the community" and will split her time between EMA and central dispatch while developing short- and long-term goals.
County leaders said the interim appointment is intended to help shape a longer-term vision for emergency operations that could combine EMA and central-dispatch functions. No formal vote was recorded in the meeting transcript; the announcement explained the interim role would allow staff time to define the department's structure and ongoing responsibilities.
Commissioners and Crick emphasized outreach to public-safety partners and the private sector and said community preparedness and recovery education will be priorities. Crick said she will begin at "ground zero" and build the program in phases, acknowledging the work will be gradual but focused on stronger interagency coordination.
Commissioners and department heads welcomed the appointment at the meeting and encouraged measured, incremental progress while Crick balances dispatch responsibilities.
