Changing community demographics, increasing costs, changing community expectations and internal conflicts have been taking their toll on our emergency services. From over 300,000 volunteer responders in the 1970s to approximately 35,000 today, volunteerism continues to decline as call volume increases. From House Resolution 67 of 1999 to the recent Senate Resolution 6 Commission, these challenges have been affirmed and re-affirmed by findings in multiple studies for decades. Itis time to stop studying the problem and start implementing gchanges  that will improve our 911 emergency services system state-wide.  Company Background  ROBB Consulting, LLC was founded in 2017. Founder Rob Brady was raised in a family of entrepreneurs and public servants. Both his mother Jean and dad Dan owned their own businesses. His dad, a former town council member, Army veteran, schoolteacher, and active volunteer fireman, worked tirelessly to promote local cooperation to solve problems. After nearly 10 years of managing part of the shared services program for the Commonwealth of PA, Rob decided it was time to start a firm dedicated to cooperative partnerships and solving problems locally.  Capabilities  Today, Fire-Rescue, EMS, Rescue Squad, Emergency Management, Municipal Government, and Non-profit Organizations and Professionals are challenged to provide high-quality services in a constantly changing environment. The public is demanding more and more services - at less The ROBB team, which includes Rob Brady, Attorney Benjamin A.

Already hailed as a "new approach for EMS agencies,' , our method isn'ts simply to employ the powers of the PA Municipality Authorities Act as would a sewer or water authority, but rather to draw on underutilized provisions oft the Act and key court decisions to create a more highly structured entity that emphasizes public outreach and accountability.
