historical brief

in july of 1985, the Glen Cove volunteer Emergency service Corps WAs organized.

Prior to the summer of 1985, emergency ambulance service in the City of Glen Cove was covered by the Glen Cove Police Department and the Glen Cove Special Police (now known as the Glen Cove Auxiliary Police).

In 1984, concerned citizens who were emergency medical technicians, approached the Mayor & the City Council and presented the idea for a dedicated emergency medical services for the City.

After thorough planning, recruitment and training, the Corps was organized. The ambulance pictured above was one of the new apparatus put into service in October 1987.
