Okay, so here are some interesting questions that came to my mind recently:
1) How many PUBLIC EMS agencies (for example Boston EMS, Lee County EMS, etc) do a polygraph examination prior to an employment?
2) Would an agency like Philladelphia Fire Paramedic Division (technically part of a fire department) do a polygraph?
3) How thorough are the background investigations for a fire based EMS "third service" (like NYFD EMS)? What about for non-fire third services (Lee County, Boston EMS, etc)?
4) What about psychological testing for the two types?
I'm the type of person who worries a lot about little things and getting a job, and I just wanted to see if I could get some actual facts before I drive myself nuts. OCD is a wonderful thing :glare:
Don't worry, I've never been arrested or anything like that or done drugs or drank
Thanks all!
