Please include their salary and benefits Compare that to a police officer getting an additional 10% over their base salary/ benefit, and performing a duel role compared to a civilian paramedic only performing that one function. Remember there are shifts when there are not to many medical calls, so what else does a civilian paramedic do during that time?

I think it is agreat opporutnity, like the basketball program, etc., for the police and our young people to get to know each other. Look at some areas in New Jersey, where the police cant even get witnesses to come forward. Building a relationship of mutual respect starts when people are young, and before they need each other.

I have rec'd a ticket from one of your police officers and was impressed with how profesional he was. I also know of people who have been taken to the hospital from your emt service. nothing but rave reviews. The programs i have read about and asked about seem to be a form of pro-active policing. great job not many police departments are in the same ballpark as your department.. It seems crime is allways on the decline, the town should let the deptartment do what it has to do to keep the town safe, and not turn into a reactive police department where there are more victems!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
