During National EMS Week, the Fire Department focuses on the paramedics, emergency medical technicans and others in the EMS community who provide essential, often life-saving care, to our citizens. More than 70 percent of all calls handled by the Fire Department are EMS calls.

This is the text of Fire Chief John Hohman's EMS Week message to BCoFD personnel:

This week, May 15 to 21, is the 42^nd National EMS Week, a time to recognize the contributions of the paramedics, emergency medical technicians and others who make up the emergency medical community. This year’s theme, “Called to Care,” is particularly appropriate because the work you do truly is a calling.

Every day, you are called to a mission that only a few – by virtue of training, commitment, compassion and stamina – can fulfill.

Every day, you are called to all manner of crises and emergencies. You are there when an elderly person falls … when someone suffers cardiac arrest ... when a child is hurt or a car crashes.  In the midst of such unexpected chaos, people expect you to be professional and equipped with the expertise that ensures you will do everything possible to ensure that things turn out all right in the end.

But for the EMS provider, expertise is not enough. Empathy is a requisite, not an option, even in stressful, technically challenging situations.  In letters and other expressions of gratitude from our patients, your kindness and courtesy – your caring – are what people remember most.

I want you to know that the work of our EMS personnel has become a bedrock of this Department. EMS calls account for more than 70 percent of the calls handled by BCoFD. Our reputation rests on your reputation. I thank you for giving us your very best.

Original release (May 19, 2016  10:44 a.m.):

The Baltimore County Police Department seeks the public’s assistance in identifying the suspect in a homicide case from 1996.

On the morning of March 2, 1996, 23-year-old Joann “Jody” LeCornu was found deceased in her car in a parking lot on York Road. She had been shot once in the back. Despite an intensive investigation into the incident, LeCornu’s killer has not been positively identified.

Police know that LaCornu had been at the Mount Washington Tavern earlier that night. After leaving Mount Washington Tavern, she went to the Curb Shoppe Bar in the 5700 block of Falls Road 21209 where she purchased beer, and then drove to a parking lot in the 6300 block of York Road 21212.

While she was sitting in her car, the suspect approached the vehicle. It is not known exactly how long the suspect spent at the vehicle or if there was any interaction with LeCornu; but at some point, he shot LeCornu once. After being shot, LeCornu drove her vehicle to the Giant Food parking lot across the street. She drove around the lot and then stopped. The suspect had followed her and when the car stopped, he reached in, appeared to put the vehicle in park, and took something from the vehicle.

The suspect then got into a white BMW, drove south on York Road and turned left onto Walker Avenue.

The suspect is described as an African American male, mid-20s to early-30s, 5’10” to 6’01”, 200 to 220 pounds, wearing a green fatigue style coat.

Finger prints were lifted from inside and outside of LeCornu’s car. Initial record checks of the fingerprints were negative. Those prints are now going to be re-checked to see if there are any matches.

Detectives believe that the suspect would not have been able to keep the incident to himself. Over the past 20 years they believe that he likely told someone about it.

This case remains under investigation by the Baltimore County Police Homicide Unit.

Anyone with information on this case is asked to call police at 410-307-2020 or Metro Crime Stoppers at 1-866-7LOCKUP.

Metro Crime Stoppers is offering a $32,000 reward in this case.
