Explorer Post
The Williamson County EMS Explorer Post is a Boy Scouts of America-affiliated organization for youth ages 14 to 20. WCEMS Paramedics lead this post for those with an interest in a medical career. The explorers train in basic life support skills, developing confidence, teamwork, and problem-solving using real-world medical scenarios.
WCEMS Explorers have the opportunity to participate in special events and rides on EMS ambulances once they meet minimum training standards. Twice monthly meetings are listed in the calendar. They are open to any youth for up to two meetings before joining.
For more information about attending a meeting, please email the post leader, Field Training Officer Billy Van dePlas.

Shattered Dreams DUI Education
Shattered Dreams is a program that is performed by area High School students, WCEMS, and other first responders. A mock collision and extrication are demonstrated for students to heighten their awareness of the consequences of driving while intoxicated. These are usually performed just before prom, Spring break, or Summer, serving as a reminder to be safe at times when teens are more likely to celebrate with alcohol. To schedule an event, please email EMS Public Education.
Honor Guard
The Williamson County EMS Honor Guard provides services at the funerals of department members lost in the line of duty. We also serve at funerals of both active and retired members of other public safety departments. The EMS Honor Guard is also available to serve at ceremonial functions and other special events, like providing a color guard. Our members represent Williamson County EMS at these events. They represent the highest standards of integrity, professionalism, and dedication to duty.
To request the honor guard, please email Lieutenant Wes Morrison.
