A Memorandum of Understanding has been signed between DCERT and the Dodge County Sheriffs Dept to establish a Traffic Incident Management (TIM) response protocol. A TIM response truck has been acquired and is being outfitted. This program is designed to increase the safety of responders and victims at highway incidents and the efficient flow of traffic.

We are grateful for the monetary and equipment donations received from the Dodge County Sheriffs Dept, Horicon Police Dept, Juneau Police Dept, Iron Ridge Fire Dept, Mayville Audubon Days, YMCA, Kenwood, the Wisconsin Dept. of Corrections, and Farm Technology Days. The donations received have allowed team members to be equipped with safety, warning, and communications equipment.

Respectfully submitted,

Carl Guse, President
