Quote:Great photos! Nice work. Looks like a great stop by the fire department.Police Department runs EMS. It's complicated though, LOL. A Police Officer/EMT patrols in an ambulance. Police Officer/Paramedics patrol in Chevrolet Tahoes with ALS equipment. If there's a call, they meet up and make up the ambulance crew. Sometimes, especially if it's BLS, a regular patrol officer will drive the ambulance to the hospital while the Officer/EMT rides it in.
Can you explain the Police/EMS deal? Does the police department also run the EMS Service or just a special call kind of piece? Just curious, Don't see police and ems together much.
Thanks for sharing!
Then there's the civilian side, which is a division in the department. There is one civilian ALS ambulance for the Town Of Greenburgh, staffed with a civilian Paramedic and sometimes a civilian EMT. For the incorporated Villages in the Town Of Greenburgh, they have a civilian Paramedic flycar that meets up with the volunteer ambulances.
It gets a little more mixed up then that sometimes, but that's the basics.
