2021 ANNUAL REPORT

EMERGENCY SERVICES

Training Office (continued)

This chart reflects the percentages of time the training center was utilized by various agencies in the community and surrounding areas.

*Note, several surges in the COVID-19 Pandemic, dramatically changed facility usage compared to previous years. Restrictions imposed during the peak of the pandemic as well as the secondary and tertiary surges prevented the magnitude of training that historically occurs within a calendar year. This significantly affected In-Service Training and Community Outreach to conform to state and national guidelines. The increase in usage by “Other County Agencies” can be attributed to functions that supported the COVID-19 Pandemic, such as planning meetings through Emergency Management, Law Enforcement and Virtual Delivery Usage.
