Hi All,

My name is Kip. I am a police officer /paramedic in Missouri. I am a married father of 5 (yes five) at least my wife tells me they are mine........... :D

I work full time as a police officer now, and part time in EMS. Hobbies include weight lifting and martial arts.

Enough horn tootin!! Site looks great!
 
Welcome to our own little corner of dysfunction.
 
My humble "thank you." :)
 
Kip,

Welcome to the forum!

One of my EMS partners has crossed to the darker side and is a part-time pi.. cop and works full-time in EMS :D

How are things in Missouri? Do you work as a Medic while working PD? I know some rural counties around here have some officers trained as Medics.

Welcome to the forum, and I hope you stick around a while and continue to post!
 
:D :D :D Welcome! :D :D :D


I don't know how you do both, my husband is a sherrifs deputy and nobody could pay me enough to do that job!
 
Welcome to EMTLife Kip.
 
Hi and Welcome!

Around here (Suffolk County, NY) all new recruits get EMT certified. They don't have to maintain their cert if they don't want to, but if they do they carry equipment in their RMP. I know of several cops who are ALS providers who carry full ALS. Pretty cool.
 
Welcome, it is wonderful to have new members! (I am no longer the rookie of the group!!) My hubby is Asst. Chief of Police in my hometown as well as with the Drug Task Force in the town we live in. He refuses to even talk about what I do. He will tell me on occasion that he is happy to have someone to call when he makes a mess on the side of the road. I simply tell him that I clean up from him enough at the house, I am not cleaning up his messes in the work place too. (LOL) Amazingly enough we haven't ran a call together yet, but I am sure I will get the opportunity.

Any ways, welcome and I look foward to talking with you soon.

Welcome aboard from Southern California!

We had one of our PD Sergeants ride down (and back) with us on a transport yesterday for an attempted suicide. Was talking to him on the drive back (not one of the guys I've known as well as some) and found out he was a paramedic for 8 years before joining our PD (first as a commercial dive medic, then for a private ambulance company).
 
Welcome to you from the Big State of Vermont.

I am highway deptartment full time with my off time (16+ years) taken up with EMS.
 
HI again,

and thanks for the comments. I was working at least one 24 hr shift a week as a medic up until about a month ago. I work at Branson Police Department so this time of year is vey busy for us.

We get nearly 8 million visitors per year. My spare time has been eaten up by my project (DT4EMS).

EMS has always taken care of my family. What I mean is if the politics got too bad (which it can do) in law enforcement, I would just go strictly on the ambulance for a while.

The EMS career is different from anything else I have ever seen. It is the only job that you can quit, get re-hired , quit again and go to another service without anyone batting an eye.

Services are always looking for good medics.

I started in EMS knowing I would someday get into law enforcement. I was an EMT for two years before I became a medic and I think each step has made me a better cop.

I am no better than anyone in my skills, just different in my approach. EMS and law enforcement go hand in hand. When I teach the "First Responder" part of the police academy, it is always tough to get recruits to buy into the first aid. They don't believe it is part of their job. I started making all of the scenarios related to their family member or a partner injured. All of a sudden they took it seriously.
 
My husband showed me one day what the deputy's call CPR when they're doing jail duty.

He stomped 3 times on the floor, and blew down twice. :lol:

Ahhh, yes. The Inmate Hoedown is what we used to call it.
 
Well VT that explains a lot about you! Corrupt minds of the police force. LOL
 
We always called that S. Fla CPR when I worked in the Glades. It was known as the AIDS capitol of the worlds at the time. Remember when CDC thought the skeeters were transmitting AIDS, then later said it was impossible because the skeeter lacked a chromosone to do so.............

That's funny. I didn't know needles had chromosones...............

Hey USAFMedic did I spell it right? :D
 
My hubby wants to put boxing gloves on a rotator on the front of his car along with a mask that shoots out when you push a button so that he never has to get out of his car to perform CPR. He also wants to put defib paddles on there hooked up to the battery wire to admister shocks when needed.

As far as the "stomp and blow" he just looks at the pt and tells them that they better not stop breathing until his wife gets there becasue he does not know how to do CPR.

Funny, he is a CPR Instructor
