Proud to have Nick as part of our SE MN Critical Incident Stress Management Team.

Someone who walks the walk and talks the talk, setting the example of what it’s like to do the unimaginable. Everyday folks just do not understand the level of commitment that public service has to their communities.

Nick, we’re happy to have you and what you bring to this region… keep up the amazing work!

Freeborn County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Nick Golbuff was presented with a Minnesota State Patrol Commendation Award Thursday during a ceremony.

Upcoming local, Beneath the Badge - The Dave & Christi D**e Story event in Rochester!

6:00pm Cracks in the Armor, Healing After the Fall Dave wore the badge for 24 years. He never thought it would end like this. The job was more than a career — it was an identity. But the weight of years on the front lines, the things he saw and never said out loud, finally broke through. PTSD

February 3, 2026- SPRING VALLEY, MN

This evening Chad and Alex introduced new 2026 Medical Direction Consortium curriculum to members of Spring Valley Area Ambulance, Wykoff First Responders, and Ostrander First Responders.

This curriculum focused on an in-depth review on heart and lung anatomy and physiology. The training emphasized how these systems function in both normal and emergent conditions, directly linking anatomical concepts to pre-hospital assessment, decision-making, and patient care for EMS providers.

Hands-on practical allowed for anatomy and physiology concepts, normally seen inside the body, to be visualized and reviewed with a hands-on assessment.
