The Department was part of a recognition of the work done by five Glendale Police Officers to rescue the occupant of a vehicle that had become submerged in the Milwaukee River recently. The recognition occurred at a recent Glendale Common Council Meeting.
Nine new recruits start May 2, 2022. Please welcome them. They will do initial orientation for one week and then start the Joint Fire Training Academy with recruits from Wauwatosa and St. Francis Fire Departments the following week. Several staff members spent the week preparing for their start next week.
Monthly Administrative Staff Meeting occurred on Tuesday. Captains attended this meeting as part of their every other month invite to these meetings. Discussion included potential upcoming changes in lieutenant rank structure, issues identified by the Captains in their quarterly station reports and the upcoming replacement of the back-up station alerting systems. The replacement of the current back-up alerting system that had failed has been delayed due to challenges in getting parts for the new system. All parts are now in stock and the vendor is scheduling the work for the near future. Thank you to all of the company officers and dispatchers who have been so helpful in temporarily implementing an alternate back-up system.
