About Pomax
Pomax is made up of a team of people who have different formal educations, experiences, and aptitudes and bring those to a project in support of clients and each other because we know – even though this sounds trite – that each project is unique. More specifically we are a team of consultants and support staff with master level education in areas as diverse as information technology, analytics, municipal planning, engineering, human resources, and finance, but combined with the practicality of front line and executive experience in emergency service delivery. In addition, we have partners in architectural, geospatial technology, and radio communications firms who we bring into projects for advice or assistance as needed.
We understand that each project is unique and specific to the needs of a community or region. Our team approach means that each specialty is dedicated as much, or as little, as required and the overall contributions are used to deliver a custom solution to each client.
Independence
We’re independent thinkers and clients have told us of the importance of delivering recommendations and plans unencumbered or influenced by opinion.
Even though we have many, many years of experience in emergency services, our assessment of your organization will be impartial because we have no practiced ways of thinking about specific issues, and no investment in any particular outcome, other than identifying opportunities for providing the most favorable levels of service specific to each client’s needs and circumstances.
Our intent, with every assignment, is to provide an abundance of objective information and fact-based recommendations sufficient to make informed decisions.
Our team’s strong capabilities in the following areas are augmented by partnerships with companies within the disciplines of electrical and civil engineering, architecture, infrastructure, geospatial technology, and other specialties which means that there is almost no area of service that we can’t deliver to clients.

Sectors
Pomax provides services to all levels of government within the area of public safety, particularly police, fire, emergency medical, and paramedic services.
Although Pomax’s skills are almost exclusive to government agencies, we do occasionally provide services to non-governmental organizations and private corporations if the project and tasks are wholly objective and in the public interest.
Selected project locations and a short description of our assignments are displayed on the attached map.
