Is it already March? Although February is the shortest month and it indeed went by in a flash even though it had a whole extra day this leap year! February has been mostly quiet (uh oh we said the Q word), but we've had a lot of employees doing amazing work and getting rewarded for it, progressing upwards, and improving their skillsets, which you can find more about below in the Rank Adjustments section, detailing all the medics that have moved up in rank.
As we work on some internal changes and updates to documentation, we have seen a notable reinforcement of both our AMU and CRU divisions, increasing in throughput and numbers of personnel across the board - this has allowed us to prevent backlogs on Public Requests and to stay on top of them for an extended period of time.
Pillbox has seen an improvement in its CCTV camera count and coverage, allowing for increased safety of staff, visitors, and patients. Surveillance now covers all the space around the hospital, as well as improving on some angles within both the Upper and Lower Pillbox indoors. We would like to remind everyone that we are here to save and help those in need, and a medic is the last person you'd want to be annoyed at you, you just might need a hand to get up off the ground after a tumble tomorrow!
EMT-A Viktor Markov
Viktor is our Employee of the Month for February 2024! He is pictured above mid-surgery, about to put the patient to sleep! He has been excelling in his duties as an EMT within divisions and in the field, as well as divisional Assistant Head of AMU. Today we commend him for his high quantity and high quality work - we are excited to see what more he has to bring to the department! Thank you for your services, keep on keeping on!spacer

BLS has always been a crucial division for the public dealings of our department, proving time and time again to be an important staple of our public image, ensuring that every applicant is tended to and treated fairly, as well as taught the most optimal way.

Should you wish to contact BLS Divisional Leadership - you can do that via our Points of Contact page (click)! Our Head of BLS, Senior Paramedic Lucine Moon, and the Assistant Head of BLS Lead Paramedic are always more than happy to assist with any questions or possible requests for private classes (held for groups or organizations).

They can be found outside of the city bank on both sides of the street and a few of them even have special decorations to mark the people they have been given to.

Charges Information
There are multiple felonies and charges that will default the application status as DENIED regardless of references, letters of recommendation, or programs passed**:
There are multiple felonies and charges that will set the application status as DENIED unless the applicant successfully underwent SADOC's Felon Reformation Program:
Additionally, Firearm Possession Charges are categorized as such:
Felonies that are outside the charges mentioned above have a wait time of 6 months*.
Other Misdemeanors that are outside the charges mentioned above have a wait time of 2 months*
NOTE* The applicant may go through the San Andreas Department of Correction's Felon Reformation Program before applying and provide a reference for the recruitment personnel to review in order to shorten the wait time. Undergoing the Felon Reformation Program does not guarantee leniency, as applicants' criminal records are considered on a case-by-case basis, and on the other hand, we may be more lenient towards one-time offenders than repeat ones.
Additionally, employment with a clean track record within more lenient government-funded organizations, agencies, companies, and firms may contribute positively toward each individual case.
NOTE** Only in cases of charges that are 12 months or older, special reviews may take place for one-time offenders for charges that are otherwise entirely eliminatory. These reviews would require substantial feedback from another government-funded employer.
