Our PPC (Public Protection Classification) rating has been upgraded from a Class 5/5Y to a Class 4/4Y rating effective August 1, 2024. We continue to promote and implement improvements to our day-to-day operations, enhancing the areas of community risk reduction, training, personnel deployment, personnel and equipment certifications, implementation of standard operating guidelines and policies, and record management. These improvements will continue to develop and factor into maintaining or upgrading our rating in the future. A previous analysis from 2018 was factored off of 56.11 points earned out of 105.5. The new analysis determined that we earned 68.08 points out of 105.5, which was an increase of 11.97 points.
