MDEWAKANTON EMERGENCY SERVICES

Mdewakanton Emergency Services has grown from an idea in 2000 to a functioning department with full time professional staff operating 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Provide assistance when requested with the Prior Lake, Savage, and Shakopee departments. Responsible for weather watching. In case of a threat of severe weather, trucks are dispatched to three areas on the reservation for observation: the North side, Mystic Lake, and Playworks / Dakotah! Sport and Fitness.

Mdewakanton Emergency Services has prepared an emergency operation plan which includes each department and enterprise. An Explorer Program began in May 2003 to introduce Community youth ages 12–20 to the fire service.

"Our main goal is to take care of the Tribe and its guests. But another important goal is to assist the larger community. We've been very fortunate with our resources and are grateful for the opportunity to give back," - SMSC Tribal Chairman,Stanley Crooks

Mdewakanton Emergency Services is but one example of how the SMSC is reinvesting in its Community. The Tribal government is constantly seeking ways to direct portions of the tribal gaming revenues back into the reservation and surrounding community.
