Emergency services report: drone missions, CPR training and $1.5M in grants
Summary
Emergency Services Director Tim Curry reported on the department's 2025 activities: completion of the emergency operations plan, large drills, 570 CPR certifications, 210 "Stop the Bleed" participants, point'of'care cholesterol checks, drone deployments for flooding response and roughly $1.5 million in grants including $21,000 for hazmat supplies and $150,000 for SRT equipment.
Tim Curry, speaking for Emergency Services, delivered a comprehensive annual report to the council highlighting planning, exercises, community training, drone operations and grant success. Curry said the city's new emergency operations plan contract is complete and staff updated the airport emergency plan, consolidating 300 pages into roughly 60 pages of usable material. He described a large mall drill earlier in the year with more than 100 participants from multiple agencies and an airport full'scale exercise planned for the fall.
Curry reported community-training milestones: "We did 570 citizens certified in CPR" in 2025 and "210 people in Stop the Bleed." He also described a point'of'care cholesterol program that provided over 500 checks and helped a staff member with dangerously high blood pressure get medical attention. On response capabilities, Curry noted the department logged roughly 400 drone missions annually, maintains an FAA Certificate of Authorization for controlled airspace flights and has 12 pilots across police and fire. He said the city secured over $1,500,000 in grants since he began, specifically naming $21,000 for hazmat supplies and $150,000 for SRT equipment.
