Albemarle Communities
Albemarle County surrounds or includes the city of Charlottesville, several towns, and many named communities and neighborhoods. Using a combination of volunteer and career personnel, Charlottesville and Albemarle separately provide fire, rescue, and law enforcement services to their citizens. With property in both the city and county, the University of Virginia (UVA) has its own police department, security force, ambulance fleet, and is home to the Pegasus medevac helicopter. All of these agencies work together regularly under mutual aid agreements.
Emergent 911-calls, and non-emergent service calls, are received by, and dispatched centrally from, the local Emergency Communications Center. The UVA Medical Center and Martha Jefferson Hospitals serve citizens in this and surrounding counties. UVA Medcom dispatches UVA's ambulance fleet and Pegasus. UVA Medic V (read as "Medic 5") ambulances primarily serve UVA medical facilities. UVA Special Event Medical Management (SEMM) ambulances primarily provide standby support at special events involving large crowds. Several area rescue squads also provide standby support. Specialized teams, like the Tactical Rescue Team, utilize a combination of personnel and resources from several agencies.
In the city and county, the police departments handle patrol and traffic duties, whereas the sheriff departments handle civil matters, court duties, and long-distance prisoner transports. The sheriff departments regularly support the police on special assignments like selected traffic enforcement. All of the above agencies, and the Virginia State Police, combine their efforts using a unified command structure when an event involves large crowds, increased traffic, or requires a larger combined response.
