I'm crossed trained as a firefighter and certified through the State as an EMR. Our dept does not recognize medically trained officers and I'm trying to come up with how we can. Assuming other around the US utilize this somehow and I'm looking for ideas other than SWAT Teams and TEMS officers. Feel it's a waste right as a cross-trained officer with State certification for the last 8 yrs and not using it daily other than when I assist EMS. Does your dept have a special designation for you?

It's a shame that your department doesn't recognize your qualifications. Perhaps you could discuss with the department the possibility of creating a special designation for you that would allow you to make use of your training and certification. Alternatively, you could also look into working with other departments in the area that may be short-staffed and in need of medical personnel.
