John Dosh Named Interim Escambia Public Safety Director
April 29, 2019
Escambia County Emergency Manager John Dosh has been named interim public safety director amid a state investigation into Escambia County EMS.
Dosh replaces Assistant County Administrator Matt Coughlin who was acting interim public safety director. Coughlin submitted his resignation April 22, citing “tribalism”, a failed mission and a downward progression in Escambia County.
Coughlin was appointed to the interim public safety post by Interim County Administrator Amy Lovoy, who has also submitted her resignation.
Longtime public safety director Mike Weaver resigned in early April, one day after a firefighter union called for an investigation of the EMS department. Rusty Nail, the county fire chief who also served as deputy public safety director, resigned in early April.

John Dosh is a good man who has given many professional years of service to Escambia County
Be friends since 1985. Could not ask for a better person to take over run Escambia County Public Safety. I also worked there at Ems for 25 years and John has been a great tool for the County and will do a great job
John is a great BCC asset and is fully capable of this assignment. He has leaf the emergency operations for the county and assembled a talented and diversely skilled team to preserve life and safety in the county during periods of extreme conditions. He is a pro and a great manager. He will do very very well.
Great choice. I think he will bring good experience to the position and will hopefully have the support of the BOCC.
John is a great choice and a great guy!!
Wonder how long it will be until he resigns?
Good choice – I think he’ll do a good job.
