1.Chief of EMS
2.
I am an experienced member of the Medical Services. Starting from the bottom, I climbed the ranks to be the Division Chief of MD, and the Division Chief of FTO. A lot of my time in the organization was dedicated to recruiting, interviewing, and training our new members, as I held the position of the Head of Training. I’ve seen the good in our systems, I’ve seen flaws in them as well. During my stay in the city I met plenty of wonderful, positive and capable people, who could be of use to the organization, but either left, or stay away because of various issues they see. For a time I’ve also been part of the USSS, and also were a senator of the state congress, but I always felt like EMS is the place where I belong the most.
I’ve been chosen to become the senator in part due to my approach to people, as well as my warm and welcoming demeanor. I try to see the good in everyone, and everyone deserves individual approach. Despite my usual easy-going approach, I am not beyond maintaining discipline in an organization. Good work needs to be rewarded, but mistakes need to be mended and rectified.
If I were chosen to lead EMS, I’d ensure our recruitment policies are more strict, and enforcement of them would be crucial. Gone would be favoritism, everything should follow a clear and transparent structure. Initial requirements - > Background check - > Training -> Examination - > Employment. The mandatory requirements could involve 15/16 years of age, a functioning voicebox, and a good, communicative level of English. Our city is an international, multicultural community of people from all origins, backgrounds, gender identities, orientations, cultures and beliefs. I do understand a good understanding of English cannot be asked from everyone, but EMS is an organization that strongly relies on communication. Communication between employees, communication with the patients, communication with other organizations, thus its members should be able to maintain at least the basic level of RP and communication, as well as a clear-enough voicebox, to be heard without an issue by patients, coworkers, or superiors.
Thus, the solutions already implemented in the organization would serve well, but they need to be taken more seriously, as well as honored. To this end, the overall recruitment of personnel should be limited, more selective.
EMS often has the not too real reputation of being the “easy organization with great paycheck”, thus a desirable target for all, new and experienced. This great influx of interest results in many people applying, getting hired, and then leaving the organization within days, when they realize it’s not as easy as it was said. This turnover rate results in unnecessary bureaucratic chaos in the ranks, which could be resolved by ensuring a smaller, but well trained and dedicated crew.
If I were to be a new chief, I would like to work with the curators of EMS to hopefully find a solution of the SH staffing problem. It’s a location, that is painful for most employees to staff, usually tied with lower wages, or, simply said, boredom. It’s an issue that keeps appearing in the EMS history, and thus I could attempt to find a solution with the curators, as well as the HC. Perhaps hosting an open debate for all EMS employees could also yield some interesting ideas, concepts or observations.
For EMS especially, the public image of the organization is important. We could still make EMS an organization to be looked up to, working hard every day to keep the city running, citizens and state employees healthy and safe. For this, I suggest the harsher recruitment mentioned above, but as a positive counterweight EMS should offer a safe and positive working environment for people from all backgrounds, built on mutual respect and understanding. This good environment would potentially pour out towards patients as well, because satisfied and happy employees often treat their clients, or rather, patients, better, which could in turn lead to general uplift when it comes to the spirit and attitude of the city. It might be a bit of wishful thinking on my part, but I do believe kindness returns to all of us eventually, and perhaps a change even in one of the organizations could provide a spark for an all-out improvement. To this end, I want to ensure a steady cooperation with fellow HC as well as Curators, and other Organizations.

As of improving RP in the organization, limiting our recruitment, as well as ensuring that our trainees are trained precisely and well would go a long way towards improving the quality of EMS RP. Another thing could be the extended cooperation with other organizations, including the Government, as well as Law Enforcement Organizations, to ensure efficient operations of the state.
