EMS Director Resigns

Sadly, I have to report that our Director of Emergency Services, Barrie Contee, has tendered his resgination effective in thirty days. Director Barrie Contee has only been with the city since June of this year. He cited personal reasons for the departure. Based upon convesations with Director Contee, his attempt to live in Pocomoke City during the week and commute home on the weekends to the western shore was taking a toll on him and had a direct impact on his decision.

Director Contee is a career long paramedic who served as a director of paramedic services for Prince George County as a Batallion Chief prior to his retirement last year.

The search will begin immediately to hire a new Director of EMS.
