COVINGTON COUNTY, Miss. (WDAM) - Covington County supervisors continue their search for a new emergency management director and 911 coordinator.
Former EMA director Greg Sanford resigned about three weeks ago.
He led the county agency for twelve years.
Currently, Schaus Professional Services is handling administrative duties at emergency management, while the Covington County Sheriff’s Department is running the 911 dispatch.
“Right now, we’re putting in the qualifications to get a qualified individual, it is a very, very tough job and we’d like to get somebody with experience,” said Guy Easterling, Covington County chancery clerk.
