Due to the increase in call volume over the past several years, the town council authorized the creation of the township's first full time emergency medical services unit operated through the police department. 

The EMS Unit is staffed by state certified Emergency Medical Technicians and are responsible for providing first aid and basic life support services within the township of Howell.

The unit has greatly decreased response times and supplemented the demands placed on the township's three first aid squads which continue to provide outstanding service alongside the Police EMS Unit.
