According to 911 officials, “you are a highly competent communications officer who can be relied upon to carry more than your share of the workload, respond to all calls with genuine empathy, and make sound decisions when judgment is involved. You used your training and certifications as an Emergency Medical Technician – Advanced, P.O.S.T.

You have taken on the role of the department’s Emergency Medical Dispatch manager ensuring everyone receives monthly training and that all requirements are met for re-certification. You have spent many hours of your own time to prepare for and maintain our EMD program.”
