Emergency Medical Services Unit

Since 1995, the Sheriff's Office has operated an Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Unit to provide a wide range of care for the residents of Albany County. Teamed with local ambulances and fire departments, our paramedics and EMTs provide advanced and basic life support first response and ambulance transport for a population of nearly seventy five thousand people in six different communities.

As one of the leading agencies in the region, the EMS unit teams life saving treatments (such as intubation, IV medications, and defibrillation) with highly trained professionals to ensure fast and critical care is available, twenty four hours a day. In addition to responding to 911 calls, the EMS unit provides personnel to support other specialty teams with the Sheriff's Office, such as the Search and Rescue Team (SRT) and Emergency Response Team (ERT).
