Retention incentives awarded for Ada-Liberty Township Ambulance District
The Ada/Liberty Joint Ambulance District has been awarded $13,460.78 for nine first responders.
Ohio Governor Mike DeWine has announced that thousands of first responders across Ohio will receive incentives from the State in recognition of their dedication to public safety and their ongoing commitment to public service.
More than 10,000 law enforcement officers, firefighters, and EMS personnel from 309 agencies will receive a total of approximately $35 million in retention incentives as part of the Ohio First Responder Recruitment, Retention, and Resilience Program, which was created to address first responder burnout caused by understaffing and overall job stress.
In total, approximately $100 million has been awarded to emergency response agencies through the Ohio First Responder Recruitment, Retention, and Resilience Program since its launch in 2022. The Ohio Emergency Management Agency administers the program and provides funding to support initiatives, such as wellness programs addressing mental, physical, and emotional health issues unique to first responders; recruitment and retention efforts to restore workforce levels; onboarding and training costs; and explorer programs to engage young adults about first responder careers. The funding awarded to date includes approximately $1.3 million for several statewide service providers.
