The Emergency Management Department is a separate department within the town. It was created to deal with disasters, both manmade and natural, that occur within the town. It is headed by the Emergency Management Director, who is appointed to two year terms by the town board. It is a department head position. The director is responsible for securing the annual fire contracts with our contracted fire departments. The position is also responsible for developing and maintaining the town's emergency operations plan. The director is also responsible for continual training as mandated by the state and federal government. The director is also responsible for developing the EM budget, the vast majority of which over goes directly to the fire departments.

The director is also responsible for enforcing the town's public safety, health and welfare, and emergency management ordinances.
In the event of a disaster, the director works with the town chair, and
the local fire departments and sheriff's department to direct search and rescue
efforts, complete damage assessments, and with the town board to enact any
legislation necessary to restore order to the town.
All areas of the town have 911 emergency service. All 911 calls are answered by
the Washington County Sheriff's Department dispatch center. From there, they are
able to dispatch a deputy to assist you. If fire or ambulance service are
needed, they can immediately page out Richfield. They must contact City of
Hartford Police/Fire Dispatch and they will page out their department. They must
contact the Dodge County Sheriff's Department to dispatch the Ashippun Fire
Department. Which department responds depends on which fire district you live in.
There is a link to a map below with the current fire districts.
The town does not have a police department and relies on the Washington County
Sheriff's Department for service.
