Steven Orlosky
Battalion Chief - Professional Standards
The Professional Standards Division of the Fire Department ensures that all personnel adhere to the department's core values, policies, and operational procedures while maintaining public trust and confidence. By keeping these high standards, we can ensure that the Anne Arundel County Fire Department continues to provide exceptional fire and EMS services to Anne Arundel County community members.
All Firefighters, Paramedics, Volunteers, and Support staff are expected to uphold ethical behavior, honesty, and respect in their interactions with the public and stakeholders. Additionally, a structured system via the Blue Teams Software is in place to review complaints, concerns, or policy violations to ensure transparency and fairness within the department.
The Anne Arundel County Fire Department values the trust of its employees and the public. In Professional Standards, we recognize the magnitude of this value and work to ensure that the AACoFD is a department where the employees feel valued, and our community members feel confident to call upon us when their safety or security is at risk.
