Adams-Friendship to Host Second Annual Emergency Services Conference: A Must-Attend for Local Emergency Personnel

Mid-State Technical College and the Adams County Officers Association will host the second annual Emergency Services Conference on Saturday, April 13. The Adams-Friendship Fine Arts Center will serve as the venue for the event, which is open to all emergency services personnel. The conference is free due to funding from local organizations like Adams-Columbia Electric Cooperative, Adams County Health and Human Services, and Gunderson Moundview Hospital and Clinics.

Sam Wollin, Chief of the City of Adams Police Department, thanked Mid-State and local emergency services for their collaboration in organizing the event. He mentioned the success of last year's conference and expressed optimism for future growth. Wollin stressed the conference's role in providing training and fostering cooperation among different emergency services.

The conference aims to cover topics relevant to the local area, equipping emergency services with the skills to handle both routine and unusual service calls. Attendees will learn from central Wisconsin emergency services professionals on topics such as leadership building, livestock emergency rescue, and mass casualty.

Chris Prochut will deliver a keynote address on mental health and question, persuade and refer (QPR) for agency personnel. Adams County Sheriff, Brent York, acknowledged the significance of addressing the mental health issues that emergency services professionals often face.
