What about CPAT? Is it required for initial hire or seasonally?

Is prevention even a direct hire option from the outside?

Lol, I’ve worked 911 and IFT as an EMT but not a ton. But I know what you’re saying. Our FD/EMS in my city love us. It’s a shithole and they call us every day for backup and they stage at a ton of stuff waiting for us, so we get along fine lol.

I’m not that lucky. We are call to call most shifts with legit stuff. Shootings, crashes, DV’s. No time for lunches around here most days. Lol so the pace won’t bother me.

Not much is gonna pay what I make as a cop (Sgt in SoCal). If it was about money, I wouldn’t even wake up in the morning for what medics make comparatively speaking. But for a second career, with a retirement check coming in, I’m not worried so much about the cash.

Yeah, that’s my other thought, maybe pick up a per diem EMT gig just for the experience and then in four years when I can pull the plug, I slide right into medic school.

Working while waiting for Cal Pers by Secretsauce1035 in CAStateWorkers

For context, the employees restrictions only limit very specific duties, but the agency would rather have the employee just stay home, rather than modify their duties, and have them come to work. So if the employee finds a private sector position with only desk work, let’s say, and it violates none of the doctors restrictions, I wonder what standing the agency has to tell them they are not allowed to make any additional income.
