“Rhea County Sheriff Mike Neal formed the Rhea County Sheriffs Department Homeland Security Team following the 9/11 tragedy,” according to the Rhea County Sheriffs Department website. “Sheriff Neal, foreseeing the need to have trained volunteers ready to step in to assist with emergencies that might deplete the Sheriffs Department resources, formed this team from volunteers interested in supporting their community.”
The Rhea County Sheriffs Department Homeland Security team is a group of dedicated volunteers ready to assist the Sheriffs Department in all major emergencies, helping with special events, educating the community with emergency preparedness information, CPR/AED, First Aid, and Bleeding Control training. For more information about the Homeland Security Team, you can contact Jim Conner at jconner@rheacountytn.gov.
