In a recent development, Brad Holmes has been appointed to lead the Lauderdale County Emergency Management Agency. The decision was made by the commission on Monday and subsequently approved by the city council on March 5th. Holmes is set to assume his new role on April 1st, where he will oversee not only emergency management but also the 911 services.
Holmes brings a wealth of experience to the position, currently serving as a veteran police officer and holding the rank of captain in the Florence Police Department. His decision to step down from his current role underscores his commitment to taking on this new challenge.
According to reports from The Times Daily, the hiring of a director was crucial before the relocation of the EMA office could commence. The consolidation of the county 911 and Florence Police Department dispatch centers under one roof at 102 Dr. Hicks Blvd has been a strategic move that officials have been planning for. This integration is expected to streamline operations and enhance coordination among the various emergency response units.
