  1. Yeah, just for contract work. Contract specifies EMT-I, so........ Thanks for the help and your service, good luck with your recovery.
  2. Need some input re: EMT-B/I training in the Las Vegas area. Are there any accelerated courses locally? If not, who offers the courses over the shortest period of time? I've considered going out to Indiana to emtinc.com for the "B" course, then doing the "I" course here in Vegas. I do have some previous medical training, Level 2 First Aid Attendant up in Canada a few years back and current US Army CLS cert., as well as other stuff here and there so I am not completely new to the subject. My time is my own, so I can do extra clinical/ride along for the experience. Trauma stuff would be good as the only place I will ever use this for a job is oversea's. Any suggestions? Thanks in Advance.
  3. Oh no, you're not getting me into this one again...... Thanks for your patience.
  4. Previously addressed. Read more, post less. Still no SpellCheck, huh? "The learning curve is steep with this one"...... (Yoda voice) That would be "how", not "where".......There was no racial comment here, merely observation of reality in the ghetto. Are you one of those visible minorities who finds prejudice wherever they look and cries "racism" at every opportunity? I have zero respect for people like that. You just showed me "what you're about", you'll play the race card at the slightest opportunity, even manufacture one if you can. Thats "how" I know you, and "what" you're about, and I'm shocked, shocked I tell you..... :roll: I think we're done here.....I am anyway......mods, please feel free to delete this whole back and forth between myself and "letmesleep" as not relevant to the thread topic, didn't mean to get off track, sorry.
  5. And now you know more than you did when you posted that first piece of drivel.........a step in the right direction anyway......make sure you read all of it, and don't just pick the parts you think support your ignorance.........
  6. See, this is why I said you don't know what you are talking about. You apparently have zero idea where the legal authority to re-arrest someone who has bonded out of custody comes from. I don't the time or the inclination to educate you; you should be willing to do that yourself. Here's a hint; it's a very old Supreme Court decision that has to this day not been overturned and is still in force. You apparently don't even know what a bail bond is since you managed to misspell it twice, and an employee of a bail bondsman is not one himself, that is why they are called an agent. I won't even get into the fantasy that a bail bondsman will just hire any warm body who walks through his door, suffice to say that you need to bring something to the table other than near total ignorance of the job. The State where I worked as an armed Private Detective Agency employee (Illinois) has no bail bond system, but we did get the occasional request from an out of state agency to check out the address of known relatives of a skip to see if he was hanging out there......we rolled with an AR15 and a 12ga. autoloader in the trunk in addition to our sidearms. If it's on your "Tan Card", you can have it.....The South and West Sides of Chicago are no place for an under-equipped or faint hearted white boy. The reason it sounds like I know what I'm talking about is because I do. Unlike yourself, (PLEASE don't reply back and claim you have....) I've actually gone looking for bail skips. You having READ about this doesn't mean you KNOW anything about it, anymore than my having read about what an EMT-P does and putting that together with my piddly old Combat Lifesaver Qualification makes me a Paramedic. Oh, and it's "Google", not "goggle". Goggles are what you wear on your face. After you square yourself away on that, investigate that little SpellCheck icon in the bottom right hand corner of the message body.....
  7. You do not know what you are talking about here. Citizens are not allowed to force entry into a persons home to arrest without a warrant, even the Police need probable cause, exigent circumstance, or hot pursuit to do that, whereas Bail Agents are allowed to do exactly that. We are definitely not talking about citizen's arrest here; You may wish to google the subject. Are you thinking about security guards perhaps? In that case you would be correct, they have only the same powers of arrest as any other citizen, although there are also exceptions to that such as "Special Police" commissions from a municipality or Federal Property/GSA contracts where the security guard, while state licensed and employed by a guard company/contractor, actually has police powers while on Federal Property or while on duty. BTDT.
  8. Reply within text, caps to indicate reply, not yelling. GOTCHA. CHEERS.
  9. Let me put this another way. Are the rules in your office the same for a bail agent as for the police? In both cases you are dealing with someone who has lawful arrest authority, who has just arrested someone who is authorized to be arrested. It sounds like you want to differentiate between the two for some reason that I'm pretty sure you can't justify and I'm suggesting that it's not really your job to decide that you will treat one differently than the other. You seem to be focused on "your territory" etc.. I hope you won't take offense (and you probably shouldn't unless you resemble my remarks) and if I've misunderstood your outlook on this it's all good. 8)
  10. If you try to separate a "skip" from the agent who has him in custody, expect drama. Expect the skip to try and take advantage of your interference (as opposed to just practicing medicine) to escape if they are one of the "highly motivated" types, who will fake symptoms until a millisecond before doing their Jesse Owens impression. If you successfully interfere in a lawful arrest, the "skip" escapes, and ANYONE is subsequently injured or hurt in any way, expect you and your employer to be sued. As an EMT you have zero training and experience with arresting violent people, don't make the mistake of acting like you do. Many bail bond agents are former military or law enforcement themselves. Don't take Chapman and his freak show as anything like who you may be dealing with. He is an ex-felon himself, the former sergeant at arms of an outlaw motorcycle club who found Jesus once he was locked up as many of them do. His ex-felon status is why you do not see him carrying anything stronger than "Dog" repellent, Hawaii's laws on concealed carry notwithstanding. Most of the time the PD will be on scene very quickly. Let them make any judgment calls.
