These Officers respond to all medicals within the town and provide Advanced Life Support whenever needed. Since the establishment of this program the state no longer allows officers to be trained in this fashion. The department has now hired Civilian Personel as Paramedics to supplement this program. Paramedics go through extensive Medical Training.
Paramedics have continuing education courses taken yearly and a recertification program.
Rotterdam Paramedics main function is to provide initial patient care then Advanced Life Support if needed. Patients not requiring ALS are turned over to a Town of Rotterdam Ambulance Agency for transport. You need a Java-enabled browser to hear audio clips on this page.
