Governor Hogan has appointed St.
Mary’s County Sheriff Tim Cameron to a two-year term on the Governor’s
Emergency Management Advisory Council (GEMAC). The GEMAC serves as an
independent advisory board, comprised of persons with special expertise in
areas critical to homeland security and emergency management. Sheriff Cameron
brings more than 35 years of law enforcement and public safety experience to
the Council, including three terms as the Sheriff of St. Mary's County.
“It is an honor to be appointed by
Governor Hogan to his Emergency Management Advisory Council. The council works
to ensure Maryland is an aware and prepared state. It is a pleasure to serve
with such an exemplary group, including fellow St. Mary’s County resident David
Willenborg,” Cameron said.
This is the second time that Governor
Hogan has specifically called upon Sheriff Cameron’s expertise. In 2015, the
Governor appointed Cameron to serve on his Heroin and Opioid Emergency Task
Force.
Sheriff Cameron earned his Bachelor of
Science degree in Management in 2006, through Johns Hopkins University's Public
Safety Leadership program. Cameron then enrolled in the University's prestigious
Police Executive Leadership Program and received his Master of Business
Administration in May 2007.
Since then, Cameron has gone on to
complete the Executive Leaders Program at the Naval Post Graduate School, in
Monterey, CA, at the Center for Homeland Defense and Security. He is also a
graduate of the 92nd Class of the National Sheriff’s Institute, Session 66 of
the FBI Law Enforcement Executive Development Course, and of Session 14 of the
Maryland Police and Corrections Training Commission Leadership Challenge.
The two-year term is set to expire in
2018.
