General Items:
1. No quorum. Approval of Emergency Services Committee minutes of July 22, 2024.
a. This will carry over to the September meeting
2. Update from Emergency Departments
a. Police Chief Stan Langve- Report attached
i. Year to date crimes reported is steady with the 3 -year reporting average of
833. Increase in mental health and disturbance calls, as well as calls to the
Yellowstone River.
ii. One position is open which will put the department at 15. Hoping to have
this filled by the end of the year.
iii. Recruiting for the Reserves as well. Currently, have 4 very active reserve
officers, with a total of 7 reserve officers total.
b. Fire Chief Hopper- Report attached
i. 60 calls during this reporting period.
ii. DNRC Staffing Hours for a total of 2,158 YTD. With the DNRC Staffing,
the firefighters are paid through DNRC for their hours. The City also
receives a DNRC truck.
iii. Current staffing is at 33, like to keep the department numbers between 30-
35 volunteers. Starting to see difficulty in getting volunteers.
iv. Just found out we were granted a DNRC grant, which will be used to
purchase wildland pants. Will receive the letter with final amount
hopefully this week. This will then come to Budget Finance to approve the
purchase, then make the purchase. Once the purchase has been complete,
will submit the invoice for reimbursement from the DNRC
v. Auction money was closer to $13,000- the school bus went for more than
listed in the report
c. Ambulance Chief Gurchiek- Report attached
i. 8 times on a -previous call where they could not get a second crew
together. This number is higher than what is reported because a second
crew was able to be put together for the additional call.
ii. May and June requested numbers have been corrected and noted in the
report.
iii. Hired a full time EMT from the volunteer pool. Posted internally for the
final open full-time position. Hope to be fully staffed and training
complete by November, which will allow for 3 staff on shift.
iv. Chief Gurchiek was selected to serve on the MT DPHHS EMS & Trauma
EMS Advisory Committee. This will be a 3 year term starting in
September.

Emergency Services Report August 26', 2024
For the reporting period of July 22nd through this morning, the FAP has had a
combined 1093 calls for service. This is up 6.5% for the three-year average of
1,026. Total Calls for Service were 6,156 this morning which is down 7.2% over
the three-year average of 6,631. Year to date crimes reported are at the 3 -year
average (833), while the 142 for the reporting period is an increase of 6.5% over
the 113, 3 -year average for the same reporting period.
We are coming off a busy summer schedule that has seen a lot of Field Training.
Officer Collins was able to get into the Basic Academy that started August 18'.
We anticipate his graduation on November 8'. He will then have a few weeks to
reacclimate and finish his Field Training. The last remaining candidate we had in
the hiring pool was offered and then declined a position, so we have reopened
applications and hope to have a candidate by the end of the year. We are also
opening applications for desperately needed Reserve Officers.
Respectfully,
Chief Langve
